Brandon the Bully Meets Nina No More

By: Phyllis D. Brooks

Narrated by: Phyllis D. Brooks, Davia D. Pugh, Lou George Jr.

This book is educational in that it teaches young children between the ages of four and twelve how to deal with bullying. It's also a helpful resource for teachers and parents who are searching for solutions to help their children deal with bullying. It follows the life of 11-year-old Brandon, who likes to cause trouble and pick on kids smaller than him. Everyone, including Brandon's friends and teachers, are unable to stop Brandon's misbehaving and bullying until a small surprise and one that's half his size appears.

Nina-No-More and her best friend Destiny come to the rescue and teach Brandon how to become a nice little boy with the use of their BEGIN program, which was taught to them by Nina's parents. The BEGIN program stands for Believe in yourself, Empower, Get up and make good things happen, Initiate and ask for help, and Never give up! These self-help tools teach Brandon that there are better ways to handle his frustrations and that bullying only hurts others. By the end of the book, Brandon is no longer bullying others and is happy to not be a bully anymore, but will it last?

Hopefully when we see Brandon in book number two, his good behavior will continue.

A MUST READ for your kiddos!

Every time I hear about a child being in a situation where they are bullied, but don’t feel like they have an outlet or a resource to turn to, it’s extremely upsetting. 😣. This is a well-written book, so much fun to read (and to listen to with audible!) … it’s accompanied by great illustrations and will speak loudly to children!

Informing our kiddos is where it starts! The tools and resources are out there! This is a must read!!! Teach them EARLY so that they are prepared.

Love this book!

This is truly one of the best books I’ve ever read that deals with bullying. It’s an excellent tool for parents and teachers to use with kids that are being bullied or even bullies themselves. The tools and steps to help with bullying in the book are easy to understand and written in a fun yet instructional way for elementary and middle school kids! I would recommend this book to all parents for all kids to give them a foundation for understanding bullying!
