What Do I Say If Someone Says. . .?

It is unkind when someone makes fun or you or tells you lies, because it can make you think bad things about yourself, and a person should never think bad things about themselves. So this book is all about what you do and say when someone says something that is just not right.

Written and illustrated by former teacher and award winning writer and attorney Penelope Dyan, this book reminds us that we are all different, and that we are all very special. And the one thing that is the most important thing of all to remember is that we must be who we are and who we were meant to be and not pay a single bit of attention to those detractors who discourage us, and tell us lies and even say bad or mean things about us or to us. Why? Because it is our differences that make us who we are, and we are all special!

Dyan reminds us to be one of a kind, to not listen when others say things to us or about us that are just not true (or that are just plain silly) and her very funny drawings and poetry remind us that like all of us, she is also one of a kind.
