Manly the Bully

by Julianna Asamoa-Krodua

Manly the Bully always thought his pranks and “manly” hugs were just good fun, until one day, he takes someone else's special moment and no one laughs. When Manly is finally called out for his actions, he begins to realise that fun isn't fun, if it hurts others. This heartwarming and humorous story gently teaches children about empathy, respect for others' feelings, and how to recognise and stop bullying behaviour. Through Manly's journey from misunderstood mischief-maker to true friend, young readers learn the importance of kindness, accountability, and making things right. Perfect for ages 5–9, Manly the Bully is a must-read for every child learning how to treat others with care, and how to say "I'm sorry" when they get it wrong.
