Lily doesn't want to come school any more because she is being bullied — and it’s up to you to help her! “Helping Lily” examines schoolyard bullying, explores its many forms — and looks at the consequences for its victims.

Designed to be read in a shared classroom environment or at home, “Helping Lily” gives teachers and parents the opportunity to talk openly with children about bullying, discuss strategies for dealing with it and, hopefully, guide them towards the development of empathy for its victims.

In this second of our series of zigzag storyapps, Miss Moffat again demonstrates her caring nature as she guides you towards solutions to Lily's problems, while Pepe, the classroom’s pet fish, leaves you in no doubt as to whether or not he approves of your actions. Just as in “Miss Moffatt's Ring”, readers can explore seven different outcomes to this story.

Once that's done and everyone is happy again, go to the game to check what you've learnt from “Helping Lily”.

REVIEW by Lesley Maher, Head of the Centre for Learning Enrichment, St Joseph's College, Sydney:

"Part of the struggle for an adult is awakening empathy in young children. For a child who has never been bullied, it is difficult to empathise with the isolation and fear that bullying can cause.

“Helping Lily” allows a child to enter into Lily’s world; a world where bullying is a reality. This clever app takes the user on a journey of discovery and decisions, of choices and feelings, and in doing so it allows the user to take control of a situation, to make good decisions; ultimately it opens the door to empathy.

“Helping Lily” is a delightful story that reaches into the imagination of a child allowing them to experience the joy of turning a wrong into a right through simple actions and good decisions."
