San Diego, CA – WEBWIRE –

“Moving at a brisk pace, the narration is quite direct, favoring clarity over embellishments. Still, it includes warm scenes not related to the bullying… ‘Don’t Call Me That!’ is an inspirational children’s novel in which a bullied boy learns to stand up for himself — and others.” Foreword Reviews

Moving to a new community is tough on kids. It could also expose them to new challenges, such as bullying, which is unacceptable. It’s common for young learners to feel out of place when transitioning to a new school, but is particularly difficult for a child who ‘looks’ different who is met with hostility. Such is the case of Michael Kim, the Asian-American boy in MaryAnn Milton Butterfield’s children’s book “Don’t Call Me That! My Name is Michael.”

In “Don’t Call Me That!” a group of boys called Michael a name, making him feel embarrassed and confused since he didn’t understand the word’s meaning. The boys would scare and make fun of Michael and his friend Jason. The two friends devise a plan to trick the teasing boy, but their plan backfires, getting Michael into trouble at home and school. How will Michael overcome his struggles in his new school? Will he be able to stop the bullying he suffered?

Miss Butterfield’s book will help children realize the difference between having fun and bullying behaviors. It will also empower victims to be brave by understanding that reporting what they are going through is not tattling. Book review publication Foreword Reviews praises the book for its educational value as well as the author’s writing prowess.

Still, it includes warm scenes not related to the bullying… ‘Don’t Call Me That!’ is an inspirational children’s novel in which a bullied boy learns to stand up for himself – and others,” read the review in Foreword Reviews.

The book is an excellent conversation starter among elementary-level school children to create a better learning environment.

My Name is Michael” by MaryAnn Milton Butterfield is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ReadersMagnet Bookstore.
