At the Grammy's, All About Bullies Big And Small's album to raise awareness of bullying won the Best Children's Album award. It's easy to overlook these 'lesser categories' when you have Adele and The Beach Boys hogging up the air time.
This album raises awareness and funds for a cause that every kid has had to deal with. In recent years the topic has become more serious. No longer is it a matter of 'standing up for yourself' or 'just walking away', this is a true social issue with real ramifications.

Blue October's tune is most certainly uplifting and a fantastic message for those who are being bullied. This compilation is not only emotional and wonderful, but encourages acceptance and being friends with others. It's an important issue and tremendous cause and these positive messages displayed through the album are important for upcoming generations, and are bound to make a difference.
