So she does. <p/>When school starts and a bully begins teasing everyone, including a new student, Molly Lou knows just what to do.<br>From standing up for a friend to admitting when you've made a mistake, Molly Lou shows us how speaking up is always the right choice. <p/>The beloved classic character has another important message to share, and David Catrow's vibrant and spunky illustrations continue to expand Molly Lou's larger-than-life personality.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Molly Lou enthusiastically embraces her mother's instructions to be true to herself, take responsibility, and accept people for who they are along with all their differences. . .
