This story gives children a memorable mnemonic that they can use to assess relationships. If this book prevents one person from entering into an abusive relationship it will have served its purpose. MEAN, MEAN, NOT A JELLY BEAN is a story written in rhyme about "Lizzy" (a jelly bean) who encounters a cruel jelly bean at the park. She witnesses multiple types of abuse and the defense of the bean by his mother. Lizzy is not sure what to think or how to react. She seeks refuge with her true friends and gains insights from her experience. "These things are tricky. Kids may try to defend whatever they do and still say they're your friend." Lizzy formulates some parameters for children to think about. A percentage of the proceds from the sale of this book will support organizations assisting victims fleeing domestic violence.
