The Upside-Down Boys: A children's book about how bad feelings can be contagious and how kindness can turn bullies into buddies./Lisa S. French

It's top-secret Tuesday in the town of Thanks-Welcome and someone is launching gummy-eggy blech blobs from the Truly Kind Treehouse! Could it be a mad chicken or a gang of gum-chewing squirrels? When Frankie finds out it's the matching twin brothers McBlue, she bounces her way into the hearts of the Upside-Down Boys, breaks the chain of bad feelings and helps turn the two bullies into buddies. Kindness is contagious! Frankie and Peaches can't wait to pass it on... Follow along with Frankie and Peaches in these engaging, heart-warming kindness capers that show children every act of kindness counts! The Upside-Down Boys is the second book in the Frankie and Peaches series. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Srimalie Bassani , these whimsically rhyming stories were created to help children explore and understand the concepts of empathy, compassion, and kindness and encourage them to believe they can have a positive impact on their world. Series Description Brave, big-hearted Frankie and her floppy-eared pal Peaches have a very long can't-wait-to-do list: grow butterflies, make marshmallow shoes, grow a smile machine, make some furry-feathery friends, and end the Math Monday blues. But their most important mission of all is to spread kindness by breaking the chain of bad feelings, turning frowns into smiles and bullies into buddies. Join Frankie, Peaches, and the Thanks-Welcome Kindness Crew as they help others go from sad and blue to woo-hoo and find out why it's important to care-why it's always cool to be kind! Each title in the series contains discussion questions for parents and teachers. Frankie and Peaches: Tales of Total Kindness is published by Favorite World Press.
