Critics Review

“What Happens Next is the type of picture book that comes along every now and then and stops you in your tracks.

Discussion of topics in the book allows teachers to support their students in learning to identify and respond to bullying, as well as build empathy skills and understand how others feel.”–Vicky Timmermanis, PhD “Toronto District School Board”
