Baraka and the Bully – Grade 4 Queenex

Description

Baraka and the Bully – Grade 4 (Queenex) is a powerful and heartwarming English reader from Queenex Publishers that addresses real-life social issues through a compelling story. The narrative revolves around Baraka, a physically challenged boy who becomes the target of a school bully named Amin. Baraka’s struggles extend beyond bullying as he navigates discrimination, self-doubt, and the complexities of friendship and acceptance.

Intertwined in the story is Neema, a talented girl preparing to represent her school in a drama and music festival. Neema finds Baraka’s remarkable talent at playing the piano a source of inspiration, and together, they form a strong partnership both on and off the stage. Their bond becomes a vehicle for standing up to Amin’s cruelty and undermining his hurtful behaviour. Through practice, courage, and mutual support, they turn their vulnerability into strength — and ultimately triumph at the festival.

This book is more than just a story — it is a lesson in empathy, resilience, and self-worth. It encourages young learners to believe in themselves, embrace their talents, and challenge negative stereotypes. Written in simple, accessible English, it is ideal for Grade 4 students to read independently or discuss as a class.
