Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

"THIS BOOK IS SO IMPORTANT! Bullying is one of those things I think almost all of us can agree needs to stop. OBaaT is something every school needs - every person needs. This is definitely a book I will be keeping on my shelf for my nieces, nephews, and littles of my own."

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

"As a librarian, I often struggle to find books for teens that explore family situations differently than a nuclear family or a single parent. The main protagonist is a foster child. That dynamic is explored as well as her friends' family situations, but the book's main focus is bullying."

Bullying is the weapon of the insecure, aimed at the different, the brave, and the kind. Stand firm. Not in silence, but in strength, because your light threatens only those still lost in the dark.
