About the Author

I was born to a large family, my father was the only child . He made it known to us how much he hated not having a sister or a brother, if he was alive today, he would not like the fact that I have only one, I must say that my wife And I love children. I was raised in a small town of about 5700 people, a few miles north of Houston. My parents did not worry much about danger to us where we lived, and there was the least worry about us being bullied in school. Today however, we live in a totally different world. It was only after my son graduated from high school that I became aware of some of the things he suffered from the words of the other children. One of the missed signs was that he was not doing good in school, but we knew he could do the work. After entering college he excelled to the point of tutoring others at school. He was invited to return to the college speak to other graduating classes. Raising him helped me to appreciate that daily talks with our young ones are very important. This children book is about a four old that because of seeing his sister and brother go to school everyday cannot wait to go to school, Only to find that the other children excludes him and they are very mean to him. I hope that it help your young ones to know what action he or she should take if they are ever faced with bullying. And how they should treat others.

One day Roy told his mother, I want to go to school!

Roy's mother said, you cannot go to school you are not old enough yet. You will be old enough next year. Then you can go to school.

Why can't Roy go to school?

Roy told his mother, I cannot wait; I want to go to school now!

I need you to stay with me one more year. You can help me here around the house his mother said. I like it when you help me.

Roy is very happy, he loves helping his mother. I will sweep the floor Roy told his mother.

Now Roy is old enough to go to school, Roy went to bed early so he could get up early the next morning. Roy was very excited. He could not wait to go to school.

The next morning, Roy got up early, he got ready for school and quickly ate his breakfast, and he was ready to go.

You must do your best in school Roy's mother said. If you do your best in school, when you grow up you can get a good job. I want to be a fireman Roy said!

Roy grabbed his lunch and ran to the car. It was Roy's first day at school. His mother walked him inside to find his classroom. Roy was very happy to see so many other children. I will make lots of friends! Roy said.

All the other children was playing and talking with each other, but no one would talk to Roy.
