In the schoolyard, there is the sound of games, laughter… and sometimes a heavy, invisible silence that hurts. The Day We Said “Stop” tells how this silence can begin to crack when children dare to stop looking the other way.
Told from a child’s point of view, this story addresses school bullying without showing violence, placing at the heart of the story the role of bystanders, quiet courage, and the strength of acting together. It shows that a gesture, a presence, a simple word can change a situation.
The soft, minimalist paper-collage illustrations accompany the text with sensitivity. They leave space for interpretation, emotions, and discussion, making this book an ideal support for opening dialogue at home or at school.
An album to help children aged 7 to 11 understand that they are never powerless, and that saying stop, together, can make all the difference.
