Oops Was Bullied? Hey, why did you hurt me that way?

Oops was bullied? Oops is a children’s book about an alien named Oops, and a precocious little girl, named Allie. The two become fast friends when Oops lands on Earth and meet in a park. Allie is very curious about this little green stranger and she tries to communicate with him. Oops is at first very sad and frightened because he was bullied by some bigger children for being different. Oops is the story of two very different types of individuals: an alien and a little girl who, in order to become friends, must overcome some very drastic differences, including language barriers, physical appearances, geographic origins, and backgrounds. However, despite these many differences, they find a way to communicate through a headset. They also learn to acknowledge the differences in each other, and become friends. In the end, Allie even helps Oops get home. This book is written for children from preschool to fifth grades. It is a twenty-seven page book that is fun and easy to read with wonderfully bright and vivid illustrations on every page. This book can be read primarily for fun, or it can be used in conjunction with other educational tools, to teach small children about bullying and how to accept others even when they are different from one self. Oops is the first of several different books that will focus on promoting health, patience, understanding and acceptance.
