"Mad Magpie" by Gregg Dreise

I absolutely love this newly published picture book by Gregg Dreise (published by Magabala Books.  The illustrations alone are stunning, but the story itself has very important messages for our youth around anti-bullying and teasing.

You can read previous blog posts with an anti-bullying theme here and here.
