Norman and the Bully

About the Book

The second in the Norman series of children’s books, this is an empowering tale that not only helps young readers learn how to deal with bullies but also suggests what makes them so and how to bring about positive changes. Norman and his horse pals welcome new stable mate, Brutus, a champion show jumper with a big chip on his shoulder but no rider in his saddle. After Brutus plays a mean trick on him, Norman figures out how to help Brutus change his bullying ways with a little help from Prudence, and the two horses soon become fast friends.
