Kimika & Kalynn: Sisters - The Bully on the Bus
Standing up for yourself-and others-takes more than strength. It takes heart.
When seven-year-old Kalynn starts getting teased on the school bus for her love of science, the mornings suddenly don't feel as exciting anymore. Kimika, her confident big sister, wants to jump in and defend her-but sometimes reacting with anger isn't the answer.
As the teasing gets worse, the sisters must figure out how to face a bully with courage, compassion, and understanding. With help from Mom, Dad, and their own growing wisdom, Kimika and Kalynn realize that sometimes people act mean because they're hurting too-and kindness can be the first step toward change.
This heartwarming story explores empathy, bravery, and the power of choosing kindness, even when it's hard.
