Introducing a new bibliography from the Cooperative Children's Book Center:
*Thick-skinned, Thin-skinned, The Skin I?m In: Books about Bullying, Teasing, Relational Aggression and School Violence* http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/books/detailListBooks.asp?idBookLists=309
Experiences with bullying, teasing, relational aggression, and school violence are an all too common part of childhood and adolescence. Schools and communities are looking for ways to address these issues, while children, teens, and caring adults deal with the day-to-day fear and misery caused by such behavior.
This selective bibliography offers titles that authentically address the issues of bullying, teasing, relational aggression, and school violence. The titles chosen here reflect themes of conformity, self-perception, and popularity in addition to stories related to school culture and tolerance. While some books describe the difficulties of being different, others emphasize the positives. From books depicting the heartache of gossip and social invisibility to books portraying the struggle of feeling comfortable into one?s own skin, these titles will have relevance and resonance with readers.
The titles are grouped according the suggested age range as well as by the main perspective the book offers (being the target, being the aggressor, being the observer, multiple perspectives). A section on difference is also included for each age range.
