🦁 About the Book

Harold witnesses a classmate being targeted and must decide whether it is safer to stay silent in the crowd or stand up and be counted.

Harold Mitchell is eleven years old and trying very hard to fly under the radar. But when he sees something unfair happening in the schoolyard, the knot in his stomach tells him that doing nothing is actually making a choice.

This is the story of what happens when doing the right thing makes you a target, and the hilarious, nerve-wracking reality of finding your brave voice.

The SEL Focus: Moral Courage & Upstanding
