Noni always tries to do the right thing. But she doesn't know how to help her classmate Hector, who is constantly bullied for his name, his size and his giant glasses. Noni stands by silently, afraid that the kids will turn on her if she speaks up. Yet 'doing nothing' doesn't feel very good. Will Noni be brave enough to take matters into her own hands? Heather Hartt-Sussman's charming story, complemented by the playful, expressive illustrations of GeneviSve C"te, is a heartwarming exploration of conquering fear and finding the courage to help others.
