What happens when a happy child gets bullied? What about when a bully gets bullied?




Matcha the MooseLamb is walking in the park when she is knocked down by a mule who tells her to "go home." It is only when she is comforted by another MooseLamb, Rosey, that she realizes that the mule meant 'where her family originated, ' and not where Matcha lives. Matcha and Rosey become quick friends, having both been bullied by the mule. While walking, they see the mule being bullied himself. What should Matcha and Rosey do, if anything? Do bullies deserve to be bullied themselves?




Inspired by recent events, and guided by school counselors, teachers, and members of the Black and Asian communities, DFP's MooseLambs present a very difficult yet very important topic for today's society in such a way for young readers to more easily understand the ultimate messages of kindness, and an understanding that bullying and hatred have no place in society.
