<p>&quot;I am strong, and my flash is bright, And I will defend you and make things all right.&quot; These are the magic words to call upon Manner-Man - a superhero who can help control bullies and teach children ways to be considerate of others. Manner-Man arrives, shouting &quot;To the Rescue&quot;, helping children learn about sharing and warning about not 'hitting with words.'

Story Behind The Book

In researching Persian mythology for another, lightly humorous book for younger kids, I found some great mythological characters I wanted to use, but they were too darned dangerous. I wrote this book to take advantage of the neat things I found.
