The unique format of Good-Bye Bully Machine helps kids understand the definition and impact of bullying by comparing it to a mean machine—the Bully Machine. Kids can see how bullying makes the machine grow more imposing, while kind behaviours dismantle it. Through the machine, kids gain awareness of their role in bullying, whether they are targets, bullies, bystanders—or all three. The role of the bystander is especially important. Good-Bye Bully Machine helps kids see the power of the bystander to become an ally, which means learning to show empathy, engage in kind acts, and take a stand against bullying. It's a perfect way to engage reluctant readers and hard-to-reach kids.

Good-Bye Bully Machine features:

  • rich, full-colour collage art
  • engaging, straightforward text
  • fun, easy-to-manage activities
  • compelling content for kids ages 8 and up
  • a note to grown-ups about bullying and bully prevention.

You can use this book on its own or in support of other Bully Free products. Good-Bye Bully Machine naturally lends itself to productive group discussion. Bully-busting activities at the back of the book show ways for victims, witnesses, and kids who've bullied others to become Bully Free—including suggestions for building a school-wide campaign against bullying.
