Inspired by the memoirs of Ralph M.'s experience with bullying,My Life BeyondBullying: Stories from Mayo Clinic Patientsuses 36 pages of full illustrations to tell the true story of how kids view friendships, bullying, and challenging social situations.

When some kids at Alex's new school start bullying him, he just wants to escape. He feels guilty and stressed about what's happening. But what can he do?

The challenges Alex experienced are common. Still, there are important steps you can take when you or someone you know is being bullied. Find out how Alex gets help and discovers his life beyond bullying.
Children's voices are rarely heard amid the complexity of modern medicine. That's why every story in the My Life Beyond series stems from the imagination and experience of a Mayo Clinic patient. The books were developed through collaboration between these patients, Mayo Clinic physicians and author-illustrator Hey Gee. Through this unique lens of inspiring real-life experiences, the series explores how children view illness, challenges and recovery.

As kids go through adolescence, they're likely to experience some form of bullying. Inspired by Ralph M.'s experience with bullying,My Life Beyond Bullying uses 36 pages of full illustrations to provide an approachable look at improving mental health and emotional happiness when facing childhood bullies.

The My Life Beyond graphic novel series is published in collaboration with Fondation Ipsen.

Mayo Clinic Press Kids creates empowering health and wellness content in partnership with pediatric experts. Proceeds from the sale of every book go to benefit important medical research and education at Mayo Clinic.

Industry Reviews

Grades 3-6. The Mayo Clinic's My Life Beyond series (3 titles) takes the experiences of real kids and turns them into graphic-novel stories that both educate readers and offer support to those in similar situations. A short foreword, not much over a paragraph, by the child who inspired the story offers some context for the story to come, and high-level back matter best suited to caregivers or educators provides definitions of key medical terms and a note about the featured topic from the book's medical editor. Autism reads like straightforward nonfiction, though C. Ano's experiences with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are demonstrated through the fictional character of Tracy, who walks readers through some of the social, emotional, and sensory challenges she's overcome, as well as her hobbies and interests. For all the titles, cartoon-style artwork relates the plot as well as the feelings and perceptions of the main characters. These stories will help readers understand others' experiences and build empathy while learning basic facts about common diseases, disorders, and social struggles. * Booklist (February 1, 2022 (Vol. 118, No. 11)) *
