The Upside-Down Boys : A children's book about how bad feelings can be contagious and how kindness can turn bullies into buddies.

It's top-secret Tuesday in Thanks-Welcome and someone is launching gummy-eggy blech blobs from the Truly Kind Treehouse! Could it be a mad chicken or a gang of gum-chewing squirrels? When Frankie finds out it's the matching twin brothers McBlue, she bounces her way into the hearts of the Upside-Down Boys and helps turn the two bullies into buddies.

Because sometimes the best way to help change the world is to start small

The Upside-Down Boys is the second book in the series Frankie and Peaches: Tales of Total Kindness. The series was created to help children explore the concepts of empathy, compassion, and kindness, and encourage them to believe they can have a positive impact on their world.

Brave, big-hearted Frankie and her floppy-eared pal Peaches have a very long can't-wait-to-do list: grow butterflies, make marshmallow shoes, grow a smile machine, make some furry-feathery friends and end the math Monday blues. But their most important mission of all is to break the chain of bad feelings, turn frowns into smiles and bullies into buddies. Follow along with Frankie, Peaches and the Thanks-Welcome kindness crew in this five-part K-4 series and find out why it's cool to be kind!

Frankie and Peaches Tales of Total Kindness is published by Favorite World Press and was written by Lisa S. French, author of the Eco-Pig series (Abdo Publishing), and illustrated by award-winning artist Srimalie Bassani.
