Regina and Spencer credit the success of their series to dedication and a lifetime of experience observing bullying. Recognizing that bullying is a problem from cradle to grave, the pair revolutionized the anti-bullying movement by not shying away from depicting adults bully one another. Regina speaks publicly at libraries and assemblies, reading from her books and discussing bullying behavior and methods by which to combat it. The books are beloved by children and adults, alike.
