This simple yet powerful picture book--from a New York Times bestselling husband-and-wife team--tells the story of one girl who inspires a community to stand up to bullying. The perfect back-to-school read for every kid, family and classroom!

Don't miss the companion book, I Forgive Alex, about the importance of compassion and forgiveness.

Inspired by real events, I Walk with Vanessa explores the feelings of helplessness and anger that arise in the wake of seeing a classmate treated badly, and shows how a single act of kindness can lead to an entire community joining in to help. By choosing only pictures to tell their story, the creators underscore the idea that someone can be an ally without having to say a word. With themes of acceptance, kindness, and strength in numbers, this timeless and profound feel-good story will resonate with readers young and old.

A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year

"This beautifully illustrated story shows young readers how to become caring and supportive upstanders. Love it!" --Trudy Ludwig, bestselling author of The Invisible Boy

Lovely story! Had to donate one copy to our local school since it is a story that everyone should see. It has no words so translates across all ages and you feel the emotions in the artistic expressions.

Powerful storytelling through images. The message landed loud and clear - that even the toughest bully is in fact an insecure not-so-tough-after-all human being.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet wordless picture book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018
Verified Purchase
A simple and powerful book about kindness. In a classroom setting, it was a great conversation starter for discussing bullying, loneliness, and inclusion. I always enjoy reading wordless picture books with the class because everyone sees something different in each page, and we discuss each page at length. I thought this book was beautifully illustrated. Through these simple illustrations, there was great care and detail in the expressions of each character that my 2nd graders understood and empathized with the characters' feelings. Lastly, I appreciated that this book had four bullet points at the end of the book about how children can help someone who is being bullied. It was a nice way to end the book, and helped emphasize the book's overall message.
