Malik Likes Mayonnaise Regina Lewis-Ward

After a long summer break, Malik is ready for the third grade. He's sad his best friend Dallis isn't in his class, but they see each other during lunch. One day, though, something bad happens. The tallest kid in Malik's class tries to take his lunch, but Dallis stops him.
Malik is embarrassed but tries not to show it. At home, he cries and wishes he had money for better sandwiches. The next day at school, Malik gets picked on again for his mayonnaise sandwich, and it doesn't seem like there will be an end to his bullying.
When a bully gets in trouble, things can change---which is when Malik makes a new, very unexpected friend.

Here is a story about bullying to help children understand their actions and discourage those behaviors. Malik Likes Mayonnaise is a way to begin teaching kindness.
