When little nightingale sees a friend at school being bullied, he is too scared to say anything to stop it, and soon after loses his ability to sing altogether. The forest animals must then work together to help him find his song. Join Nightingale and his friends as they discover the significance of courage and its magical influence in beautifying our speech and inspiring the hearts of those around us. This story goes beyond teaching children how to defend themselves from bullying to focus on how they can create an environment in which bullying is not accepted by anyone. It helps children realize that to speak out requires courage and the power of speech –a gift that we all have and can use to defend the truth. This story of learning and the wisdom of friends will captivate the imagination of young and old alike, and is useful for both parents and teachers to highlight an important lesson about bullying.

At such a critical developmental age, this book went a long ways in exposing my students to what is right and how to carry themselves...”
Seduction. Love. Scandal. Destruction. “Throw the tournament, or someone close to you will get hurt.” A threat against Jacob is a threat against Jean-Pierre. What should have been an idyllic Christmas in Whistler is tainted by a mysterious message. It becomes clear that it is no joke when Jacob’s life is threatened. Can Jean-Pierre keep Jacob safe for the tournament in Edmonton...
