Nobody Knew What to Do: A Story About Bullying
by Becky Ray McCain and Todd Leonardo

This book is a great way to reinforce bully prevention skills by role-playing some of the tactics discussed by the children in this book. Like all other skills, bully prevention skills need to be taught, rehearsed and refined until they are embodied.




When children are being bullied it is sometimes hard to remember that each incident has three victims: the bully, the bullied and the observer. In this story the other children in the class watch as Ray is continually bullied-to the point that he stops coming to school. The children knew that it was wrong and hoped that by ignoring what was happening to Ray it would somehow go away. Finally, they decided that they would face the problem together-and get help from a teacher- to figure out what to do and say to make sure the bullying stopped.
