Be Bold and Speak Up

Be Bold and Speak Up is a gentle, reassuring picture book that helps young children understand the difference between everyday friendship problems and bullying. Through familiar playground moments, Luca learns that while small disagreements can be sorted out, unkind behaviour that keeps happening is not okay - and that speaking up is a brave and important choice. This story models positive strategies such as using strong words, walking away, and telling a trusted adult, helping children feel confident and supported. Perfect for classrooms, counselling settings, and family reading, Be Bold and Speak Up encourages kindness, courage, and open conversations about feeling safe at school. A supportive resource for children, parents, and teachers, this book reinforces the message that everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and included.
