When he chooses to do the right thing, and not act out in anger, he turns back into a boy. Darlene Shortridge drew inspiration from her son, Jeremiah, who had quite the temper growing up. His little fists would ball up at his sides and his nose would breathe in and out in exaggerated form as Darlene would say, Jeremiah, you're a boy, not a bull  #leavebullyingtobullsThis book is a welcome addition to any child's library and addresses bullying at home, in the neighborhood, and at school. Jason Webb's introductory illustrations showcase his talent. He truly brought Darlene's vision for her characters to life. The artwork is colorful, full of action, and attractive to children ages 4-8. Each two page spread featuring the bull acting out resolves as you turn the page and see the boy acting as a boy should. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI'm your mom,

When she isn't writing, she loves being with her family, especially her first grandbaby. You're a Boy, Not a Bull was inspired by her son and his propensity to curl up his fists and snort when he was angry. Darlene would tell him, You're a Boy, Not a Bull.
