A Book to help kids learn about Teasing vs. Bullying and what to do about both. The star of this quirky tale is a character named One of a Kind . He knows there isn’t anyone else in the world just like him. He really likes being himself, but sometimes the other Ones tease him. Is the Tease Monster a friend or a foe? That’s what One of a Kind must figure out by learning the difference between nice teasing and mean teasing. One-of-a-Kind is truly unique. Made up of multiple colors, One has big feet and loves eating popsicles while standing upside down. But when Purple laughs at One for being weird and Green playfully calls One a "klutz" for tripping on the stairs, One feels rotten and vows never to go back to school. One doesn't understand the difference between friendly teasing and mean teasing. But with Mom's help, One learns that teasing is part of life and that laughing at someone (mean teasing) can have a hurtful bite while laughing with someone (nice teasing) can be alright... it it's not done out of spite! Tease Monster is part of Julia Cook's Building Relationships book series. Included in the book are tips for parents and educators on how to help children understand the differences between teasing and bullying. The series also

She has presented in thousands of schools across the country and abroad, regularly speaks at national education and counseling conferences, and has published children’s books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook’s work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers.
