The Grouchies

Big, Brave, Bold Sergio

​Magination Press, 2018

     Swimming with the Snappers makes Sergio feel BIG, BRAVE, and BOLD. 
     But sometimes the Snappers' idea of fun gives Sergio "squishy" feelings. He doesn't like it when they start picking on a minnow named Gil...but it's hard to stand up to your friends!​
     Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers by Julia Martin Burch, PhD, on bullying, friendship, fitting in, and ways to discuss these issues with your child.
