How the Moon Regained Her Shape Review

How the Moon Regained Her Shape
by Janet Ruth Heller
How the Moon Regained Her Shape by Janet Ruth Heller is influenced by Native American folktales and uses the phases of the moon to teach children how to deal with bullies.  

Bullying is an ever growing problem and How the Moon Regained Her Shape takes a unique approach to show children how to regain confidence after dealing with put downs from a bully.  The Sun insults to Moon and tells her how unimportant she is. The Moon begins to shrink away and unfortunately, believes the Sun's comments. A Comet sees how sad the Moon has become and shows the Moon the way to Round Arms' home. Round Arms helps the Moon to realize how important her role in this world is. 

How the Moon Regained Her Shape helps children to understand that the things a bully says are untrue and teaches them to seek out family and friends that love them for who they are. 

This award winning book should be shared in classrooms across the country. Educating children, from a young age, about bullying is the only way to put an end to this growing problem.

You can purchase How the Moon Regained Her Shape at www.amazon.com.

Dear Stacie,

Thank you so much for posting this new review of my book and for your praise of How the Moon Regained Her Shape. Since the book was published, I have spoken in many schools and at many conferences about bullying and self-esteem. Parents and teachers have told me that How the Moon Regained Her Shape has helped their children to understand bullying and encouraged them to report episodes of bullying to peers and to adults. I wrote the book to try to assist kids so that they would not have to suffer from bullying as much as I did when I was young.

Best wishes! Janet
