Stand Tall Against Bullying

Matthew is one of the bravest eight year old boys you will ever meet.  Unfortunately, Matthew is bullied at school; he is called names, spit at, and even has his lunch money taken away by a bully named Bobby.  Matthew just wants to feel like he fits in and that he belongs somewhere, just like everyone else. But Matthew is extremely special and courageous because he never physically fights back; he knows what the right thing to do is, and that's telling people he trusts about being bullied.  Matthew's story sends a powerful message to readers, "If we all stand together, bullying will end."
