Of Butterflies & Bullies

De: Jenny Dalton

Narrado por: Jenny Dalton

Molly is 10 and her life is about to change dramatically. During a tumultuous and unexpected experience at a new school, she learns that she has to find her own strength to carry on. This is a story of how it feels to be bullied and the inner transformation that occurs. It’s about best friends and frenemies. And it’s about being vulnerable and the power of our own minds to build us up and see us through tough times.

The story is appropriate for tweens and teens and is a terrific listen for adults as well. Ms. Dalton’s words are courageously accurate when expressing the wonder, doubts, and pleasures of being a child on the cusp of puberty. Molly’s quest for authentic friendship, love, and acceptance will remind us all about the humanity of youth.

Real and relatable

I feel like we were all Molly in 5th grade… or perhaps that is just the magic of the author’s writing. I love the reminder of how we all struggle to fit in while still struggling to be who we are.
