Welcome to the World of Pencilies!

You will meet Pency, Penci’lah, Meany, Meani’lah, Penny, and Clippy ― colorful characters who help show kids how to stay calm, speak nicely, and turn conversations around; ones that were meant to be hurtful will become conversations packed with humor, confidence, and skill. With this book, kids learn smart, simple ways to respond when others are mean.

Parents will also learn how to support their kids who are going through this hard challenge. Once they understand the system and how it works, they are empowered to help their children practice the skills, and ultimately, watch their child gain back their confidence.

Packed with positivity, humor, and real-life tools, The Bullies helps kids deal with mean people in a way that actually works! It enables them to tap into what they know about themselves, regardless of what others say, and to feel powerful possessing the proper responses.

So delve into the Pencile world ― your children will thank you… and so will you.
