Diane Ng Jacob and the Bully Kid

Annotation

Jacob and the Bully Kid is s story inspired by my grandson Caleb. I have been making up stories for Caleb for a few years. Whenever he visits me in the summer, he always ask me to make up a story at his bedtime. Jacob and the Bully Kid is a story about a boy who loved to play soccer. It is a story about family and values that promote character. Although Jacob is small in stature, he is an excellent kicker. When he and his family move to the city, Jacob encounters a kid who tries to bully him. My grandson Caleb is the inspiration for this book. He is also a soccer player, and he is on a travel soccer team. He is usually one of the smallest boys on team, but that does not deter him from giving his all in all. In this story Jacob is treated unfairly on the soccer field by the bigger, stronger boy. Although Jacob was bullied, he did not respond in kind but befriended the kid who bullied him. I hope other children will enjoy this story about being kind and considerate when faced with bullying.
