It Only Take ONE to Stand Up to a Bully
The story "One" by Kathryn Otoshi does a remarkable job painting the picture of a bullying situation among young students.
Blue is a quiet, passive, calm color who gets bullied by hot headed Red. The other colors are bystanders who do not agree with Red’s behavior, but don’t dare say anything. Every time Red says something mean and no one speaks up, he grows larger and more intimidating. Luckily, the number One shows the colors how to stand up to Red. All of the colors, including Red, learn that everyone counts.
