When two little mice, Timmy Tattersail and Daisy Dewdrop, are caught up in a tornado, they are carried far from their home. These unlikely friends find themselves in several predicaments as they make their journey back home. The brave and adventurous Timmy leads the fearfully shy Daisy into a series of exciting adventures. These escapades include a wild whitewater ride on a homemade raft, a terrifying tumble over a waterfall, and a hilarious event in a cave. The two become the very best of friends and learn a great deal about themselves and each other along the way.

Across the United States, schools face the daunting issue of confronting the widespread effects of bullying, which threaten the physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being and development of youth. Creating and Negotiating Collaborative Spaces for Socially-Just Anti-Bullying Interventions for K-12 Schools is a theoretically and empirically grounded edited volume that describes practical ways to address bullying at both systemic and individual levels. Central to the scope of the book is a diversity-focused approach to assessing and conceptualizing discrimination and bullying among marginalized youth, such as LGBTQ, mixed race, gifted and talented, and special needs populations.

Interspersed with concrete, real-life examples, each chapter in the volume expands on the multiple dimensions of bullying as well as research-backed anti-bullying interventions. The book advances previous literature by addressing contemporary issues in bullying. Special topics include teacher-to-student bullying, cyberbullying, restorative justice practices, and assessment of attitudes toward addressing bullying.
