Cox’s character, Pearlie shares stories of the precious memories and sometimes hardships of a small child. It is amazing to see, how a child will think and survive through life adversities. Pearlie’s story unveils a special love and support that is shown but not said all the time. The love of family will develop you to believe in yourself and who you want to become. The author wishes to motivate young children from all walks of life to read from the soft/hardback books again! Turning the pages of their imagination while dazzling their minds. By using hands-on activities designed to bring the Pearlie…I Dream stories to life, the author extends learning opportunities from the classroom to the child’s home. The Fourth book in The Pearlie … I Dream Series, “Bullied At School” tells the story of a classmate that Pearlie is first afraid of, but later becomes one of her best friends. It is hard to see the hurt some children feel because of where they live or if they are not able to do class work as well as others. They hold all these feelings deep in their hearts. This causes them to become bitter toward other children within their surroundings. It's surprising how a smile can become the making of friendship that is needed.
