On a personal note of how her work with bullying has touched her:
Kathy was approached by the mother of a sweet little boy with only one leg who gets teased at his school. She was told the boy opened her book, "Taking the Bully by the Horns," as a gift from his mother on Christmas morning and he didn't put it down until he finished reading it. He then said, "I feel a lot better about myself now; this is the best book I ever read." When the mother told Kathy that, Kathy replied with tears, "Now I know why I wrote the book."

Getting Started With Kathy Noll
When Dr. Jay Carter wrote his self-help book about invalidation (adult bullying!), "Nasty People," he received many letters from readers whose lives he helped, and changed. Many were parents who requested he write a children's version to help their kids/teens. After 8 years of searching for the right person to write this version of his best-selling book, he found Kathy Noll.
He had placed an ad in the personal's looking for a co-author. Kathy sent him writing samples of her children's short stories. He picked her out of over 50 people who sent him their info/samples!
Jay feels Kathy has an original style of writing, and the ability to talk with young people on their level. He felt she was perfect for the project, and she worked on the book day and night, doing research and interviewing older and younger people on both bullying and self-esteem issues. They're proud to announce the result of their efforts, the award winning book --"Taking the Bully by the Horns."
This book was written because there is a need for it. Bullying has become a very serious & timely topic. We're seeing more and more trouble with bullies in the news...everywhere. Some have driven other children to suicide and murder.
Bullying has been around for as long as people have been around, but it's only been recently that we've become aware enough to do something about it.
