Bullying has become an international problem in epidemic form. Statistics show over 100 million people in the US visited websites concerning bullying in 2014. Through experiencing firsthand the detrimental effects bullying has had on her family, it is from a grandmother's aching heart that Empress Spangler writes her first children's book, Not-So-Tall and Not-So-Small Aaron Timothy Ball.. The bullied come in all sizes, shapes, and colors, from all walks of life. Bullying is intended to hurt those bullied, physically, emotionally, and socially, often having significant, lasting consequences. In this timely book, we meet Aaron Timothy Ball, a child who is being bullied at school because he is not the same size as his peers. When the hurt becomes too much for him, he breaks down, sobbing as he pours out his heart to his mother. With understanding, warmth, and wisdom, she explains that God loves us all just like we are. This book belongs in every school and church library and is a must read for children, parents, and teachers.
