I Walk with Vanessa: A Story about a Simple Act of Kindness

In this wordless story, a young schoolgirl sees a new classmate being bullied and does not initially know how to help. She later chooses to become an ally to the girl, Vanessa. Ink and watercolor illustrations tell the story without text, showing one child’s response to another child’s mistreatment. Back matter addresses bullying for children and adults, extending the book’s focus on noticing harm and taking a supportive action.
