Help Break the Circle of Bullying

Alyssa Antoci, now 13, wrote a book about bullying when she was just 8 years old called "The Purple Marble".  The story is a true story about a family member who was bullied because of his weight and had to eat his lunch in a boy's bathroom stall because his peers teased him they were going on a pig hunt at lunch time to find him.  Alyssa was so saddenned and efffected by his story that she wanted to share it. She was also bullied herself by a very close friend.  Alyssa's book is in some book stores and libraries in California.  She has had teachers from all over write her emails that they have had great success reading her book to their classrooms, openning the discussion about bullying .  Our goal is to get this book into every school in America(for grades 1st -4th).  We need to break the circle of bullying and reach the younger grades as this is where this behaviorial pattern starts.  WE NEED TO SAVE OUR CHILDREN AS THEY ARE BEING DESTROYED AND WORSE DYING FROM THIS PREVENTABLE EPIDEMIC CALLED BULLYING! Your donation of a minimum $25 will allow us to send a copy of 'The Purple Marble' to a school of your choice (or we choose).   Of course if you donate more, you can recieve or give out more books or just support our anti-bullying movement. Please encourage your elementary school teachers to read this book as there is a list of discussion questions as well as an overview of what each character learned by the end of the book.  We can't thank you enough for helping Alyssa with her cause! 

"The Purple Marble is my new favorite children's book! Centered on the theme of bullying, it's been the perfect lead in to classroom discussion & activities that help children deal with bullying. The way author Alyssa Antoci draws from the experiences & unique perspectives of each character is truly intriguing while relatable to all young people.
As an elementary school teacher for 22 years, I believe The Purple Marble is a must have in every classroom."
