'Case Two: Big Bully Holly Howler' is Released

According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, one out of four students are bullied during the school year. Even though most bullying can be found in schools among young children, there are still bullying epidemics that adults are involved in as well.

Throughout Dr. Elana Ashley's career, she has been able to mentor students, teachers, and parents through multiple workshops on child abuse, drug education, character development, self-esteem, and conflict management.

Knowing how prevalent bullying is in society, Ashley decided to write "Case Two: Big Bully Holly Howler" available in both English and English/Spanish. In Ashley's book, she focuses on the topic of bullying and how no one should handle bullies alone.

"Children will be able to understand that the answer to changing the behavior of a bully is for them to act in respectful ways and to let the other student know that he or she can become a welcome member in most situations," Ashley said.

"Case Two: Big Bully Holly Howler," is about Ellie Elephant who turns to her friend Splunkey for advice. During the first half of the book, Splunkey gives Ellie and her friend important ideas on how to solve her bullying issue. Coupled with Splunkey's advice and her own fast thinking, Ellie makes choices that save the day.

Throughout the book, Splunkey gives Ellie and her friend important ideas on how to solve her bullying issue.

"The world needs more kind and compassionate people to reach out with ideas and strategies for making this world a better place," Ashley said.

By reading "Case Two: Big Bully Holly Howler," both children and adults will be intrigued by the images of Ashley's real-life puppets, as well as the positive messaging about anti-bullying strategies and how to be the "bigger" person.
