The Millie Magnus series was written to spark conversations about the things kids care about most — standing up for yourself, being a good friend, handling big emotions, and celebrating what makes you different. These free discussion guides help you bring those conversations into your classroom, library, or reading group.

Whether you're using Millie Magnus as a read-aloud, a book club pick, or part of your anti-bullying curriculum, these resources will help your students connect with the story on a deeper level.
