Strength Behind Stars is doing great work with kids. Their work to reduce bullying at the elementary school level is the key.
Strength Behind Stars brings happiness to kids in underprivileged areas by spreding positive messages and preaching an anti-bullying environment to elementary level students. One way we help spread our message is through reading "The Purple Marble" book in person or virtually to students.
Strength behind stars has helped me become the person I am today. It is one of the most amazing charities, the amount of impact they have had, in the short amount of time… is so amazing to me.
As a mother of six, I feel it is vital to teach my children the skills necessary to respond when someone is not being kind. This book is a perfect tool to help assist with this and beautifully captures the kind and moral responses needed when someone is being hurtful. This book helped to teach my children to respond with empathy and forgiveness and to not only see the boy being bullied side but it also helped them to understand the place where the bully was coming from. They also learned to speak up if they were the friend not directly being the bully but watching the bully tease someone else. Paramount to human nature goodness is the golden rule and this was a perfect example of treating others the way you would want to be treated, especially when it’s difficult! My girls also loved the creative and silly side of this story using the various pizza creations! They love it so much that they are inspired to create their own pizza masterpieces using chocolate, cotton candy, marshmallows, blackberries, pepperoni....! I believe every child should read this book! I will definitely be reading this to my grandchildren as well!
Spreading the word about anti-bullying and being kind is so important to impressionable youth. My daughter and I have loved being a part of this wonderful nonprofit.

My daughter is on the kids board of this wonderful organization. During COVID-19 she was able to read The Purple Marble via Zoom to kids to help them learn about anti bullying in a non threatening but educational way. She has also helped do other acts of kindness such as baking cookies to be delivered to support staff at her school, helped package The Purple Marble to be delivered to LAUSD so more children can learn about anti bullying to give them the resources and skill to combat situations they may be face in their daily lives.
