Have Self-Worth, Will Travel: The Recess Queen

The ability to offhandedly deflate a bully, with neither anamosity nor remorse, is my idea of heaven — and is high on my wishlist for my daughters. This snappily told story of unwavering self-worth and the power of cheerful assertion gives us hope — and lots of laughs.
