About the Book

Bullying can be confusing and painful, but children don’t have to face it alone. Stanley & Walker: Canine Kindness Champs by Emily I. Hoffman (Mascot Books, March 31, 2023) empowers young readers to recognize bullying and respond with empathy, kindness, and courage. Through ten engaging chapters, Stanley, Walker, and their lovable crew of pup friends explore everyday situations where bullying might occur—from playground teasing to online challenges—and discover strategies to create safer, kinder spaces.

Each story is paired with lively illustrations that bring these lessons to life, making it easy for children to connect with the characters and messages. Along the way, readers learn how to be supportive allies, avoid gossip, identify warning signs, foster emotional and physical safety, and speak up against cyberbullying.

More than just a storybook, Canine Kindness Champs is a tool for parents, teachers, and caregivers to start important conversations about bullying and empathy. With warmth and humor, this book encourages kids to champion compassion and stand proudly as advocates for kindness.
