Willow is thrilled the whole class ? including her! ? is invited to classmate Kristabelle's fantastic birthday party, until the bossy birthday girl starts crossing guests off the list when they dare cross her. There are many books on bullying, but Willow's story offers a unique look at how to handle the situation as a bystander. AUTHOR: When Lana Button was young she transformed all of her rubber skipping ropes into microphones, and sang to large crowds of imaginary people in her bedroom. Today she lives with her husband, three daughters and her cat, Rocco, and spends much of her day singing and reading to small crowds of preschoolers. ILLUSTRATOR: Tania Howells graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1997 and has been a freelance illustrator for 15 years. She is currently a stay-at-home mum, and after bedtime, she works on her drawings. In another life, Tania might like to be a fabric designer, a librarian or even a small-town cafe owner. She sometimes has trouble saying things out loud, just like Willow. She likes coffee and tea, walks, reading books, daydreaming and baking things?
