About the book

Ben is being bothered by not one, but two bullies at school. The twin boys with the red hair scares him sometimes, and they make Ben feel unhappy. Because of this, Ben doesn’t even want to go to school anymore. But then his mom reminds him that Jesus is always with him and that there are other ways to handle bullies. This beautiful story by Zuléka Smit sensitively explores the topic of being bullied, especially at school, and is based on her years of experience as an educator as well as being a mother.
