DescriptionFor ages 8-12ReviewsPinkShirtDay ~ In Tim Tipene’s book Bullies and Warriors, a group of children – bullies and the bullied – are chosen to participate in a ten-week course called Warrior Kids.Lead by their teacher, Papa Tim, the children spend their Wednesday afternoons playing games and completing challenges, all while following the Warrior Kids creed to be safe, nice to others, careful with the earth, to practise self-control, and remember they are loved and treasured.I think this book would be most helpful if parents or teachers read it with children. Our 9-year-old reader Olivia didn’t pick up on some of the book’s deeper messages – like the reason Mark was bullying Sean – because she’s too young to comprehend them.After she finished the book we had a great conversation about bullies and the kids who are bullied, and I think this is the best way to approach this book. It’s a great way to start a discussion about dealing with bullying in schools, and how kids can keep themselves and others safe.Meet the Kiwi authorFind out more about award-winning author Tim Tipene on his author profile.
