Jennie has red hair and freckles and wears glasses, and she's fed up with the teasing she gets in school. Her friend Amon understands because he, too, gets teased because of his being Chinese. When the two of them see an old lady being bullied by some older boys, they call a teacher who sorts them out, and the two children show respect for the lady in helping her. Their actions become an example to their class of what respect is all about. The story is told in rhyming couplets, and the illustrations are expressive and fun. Good for using with a class. A Canadian book, the story is available in the UK from Gazelle Books (email: sales@gazellebooks.co.uk, Tel: 01524 68765).
