Book: Tease? No, Please!
Format: In-person; 80 students in individual class sessions,
1st -4th grade
“The experience with the author reading was excellent. No improvement is needed. Everything was top-tier. I thought the book was well written, age and grade-level appropriate, and highly motivating. Students were engaged from beginning to end. The long-term impact will have students thinking critically about what "teasing" is and ways to stop it from impacting them negatively.”

Book: Tease? No, Please!
Format: In-person; 20 students, 2nd grade
"Mrs. Epps -Bean was amazing. She was energetic and quite engaging. She was poised and patient with our learners. Mrs. Epps - Bean did an amazing job bringing her book to life. My only suggestion is to return to our school. The book is ideal. It resonated with me as an adult, as well as a child of yesteryear."

Book: Tease? No, Please!
Format: In-person; 800 students in multiple group assemblies, Pre-K - 5th grade
"This book definitely resonates with the students and with the adults. The students continued to talk about being kind after the author had left the school. This book watered the seed to kindness and following the golden rule-treating others the way you want to be treated. The overall experience was excellent. Ms. Chrystal was very nice and professional. She provided the excitement and energy needed while reading to the students. I had already pushed the topic of teasing and bullying throughout the school.
The author reading came right on time because it was an extra layer of support."
