No Fighting! No Bullying! by Christopher Basquez
Being a big brother isn't always easy-especially when it feels like you're the referee in every game and the peacemaker in every fight. When a video game match turns into pushing, shouting, and even tears, Christopher steps in to remind everyone that being friends means more than just winning.
In this powerful and relatable story, 11-year-old Christopher Basquez shares a real-life moment about standing up to bullying, protecting his little brother, and learning what it truly means to lead with kindness. Inspired by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the wisdom of his mom, Christopher shows that courage doesn't always look like fighting-it looks like speaking up.
A must-read for kids learning how to manage conflict, defend others, and be the kind of friend (and sibling!) the world needs more of.
Part of a bold new series by youth authors from Memphis, TN-real kids, real stories, real lessons.
