Description

In this bullying assembly, using music, singing and storytelling Alden Phelps tells tale of a child who gets bullied at school, and how he stops it, with help from students and adults. A Window in My Heart: A Story About Bullying is narrated by a man who has the unique job of school custodian on an intergalactic spaceship! All the child characters in a Window in My Heart are fanciful blue aliens, emphasizing the fact that no matter what we look like on the outside, we’re all the same inside.
