Synopsis

Poor Jessica was the target of bullies in six year old Chicago author, LaNiyah Bailey’s HIGHLY-ACCLAIMED, debut "Not fat because I wanna be." After courageously deciding that "enough was enough" Jessica was determined to take a stand against her bullies. Now enlisting her best bud “Diva-pup” they form a super-hero duo now known as “Bully Busters.” “Jessica” and “Diva-pup” are on an adventure. Taking over the town one bully at a time, follow them on this cool journey as they travel the world providing their very own "Bully Buster" intervention. In this educational coloring/activity book this duo will teach children of all ages that bullying and teasing people because of their differences is NEVER ok and that you should always love yourself no matter what. LaNiyah Bailey’s mission is to influence children to accept people the way they are and to treat others the way they’d like to be treated. With fifty pages of light-hearted drawings illustrated by Laura Pérez Ricaud, it delivers light-hearted true to life scenarios, inspirational quotes, and challenging games for all children.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

7 year old author/youth advocate, LaNiyah Bailey was introduced to the world by way of NPR Radio’s Michel Martin’s show “Tell Me More.” Broadcast in over 500 cities and lead a world-wide discussion in support of President Obama’s anti-bullying initiative and the epidemic of Bulling in America, March 2011. Shortly thereafter, her phone was ringing off the hook. Major media outlets such as CNN, FOX, NBC, BET, Huffington’s Post and many others throughout the world including the UK wanted to know more about this young girl’s “inspiring courage.” It was when she and her parents LaToya “Toyiah Marquis” White and Songo K. Bailey, decided to speak out and inspire people with her anti-bullying/childhood obesity awareness message by self-publishing her highly-acclaimed, debut children’s book "Not fat because I wanna be," the book that detailed the story of fictional character Jessica. Bullied because of her size which was inflicted by an underlying medical condition that caused her to gain weight even though she was healthy and active; at such a young age Jessica had to endure some painful and miserable times. One day Jessica decided to stand up for herself and profess to her classmates why she wasn’t as different as they thought, she was a regular kid just like them. The story was based on LaNiyah’s very own true to life instances of being bullied and teased because of her weight. Since the books release in March 2011, LaNiyah has been featured in magazines, interviewed on 100’s of radio shows, blogs and TV shows. The book has garnered 5-star reviews across the board and is currently in the lesson plan at schools throughout the US. Just wrapping a successful 30-day book tour with “World of Ink” LaNiyah is now ready to embark on a US school tour.
