Shane Koyczan's well-known anti-bullying poem, illustrated by thirty artists from around the world. In February 2013, Shane Koyczan's passionate anti-bullying poem "To This Day" electrified the world. An animated video of the lyric narrative went viral, racking up over 12 million hits to date and inspiring an international movement against bullying in schools. Shane later performed the piece to sustained applause on the stage of the 2013 annual TED Conference. Now this extraordinary work has been adapted into an equally moving and visually arresting book. Thirty international artists, as diverse as they are talented, have been inspired to create exceptional art to accompany "To This Day." Each page is a vibrant collage of images, colors and words that will resonate powerfully with anyone who has experienced bullying themselves, whether as a victim, observer, or participant. Born of Shane's own experiences of being bullied as a child, To This Day expresses the profound and lasting effect of bullying on an individual, while affirming the strength and inner resources that allow people to move beyond the experience. A heartfelt preface and afterword, along with resources for kids affected by bullying, make this book an invaluable centerpiece of the anti-bullying movement.… (más)

I saw this book hiding on the shelves on one of the two libraries I go to so not long after I finished another book I immediately picked this up and finally read it. When I finished it, I thought I never saw a book like this before, because it's not a novel. It's a poem, with illustrations but I've read poetry books before. Just not like this one where it's only one poem that spans an entire book. Usually poetry novels have multiple poems, but not this one, thus I can't normally judge it the way I would generally judge a novel (like the pacing, characters, plot, world-building and so on.) They don't apply here, but I'll try my best to judge it. First off is that it's free verse with no characters, just images of people. Right off the bat the message that bullying is bad is clear but it never came off as too preachy. I liked the writing style and when the poem tried to deal with challenging topics like mental illness and verbal bullying. But I felt that they were given a mention and then forgotten about to focus on the dominant message about anti-bullying and if it weren't for the foreword and afterword they would've gotten even less of a mentioning. The poem has some phone numbers to various mental health services which I liked but I could never fully relate to it since it's rare for me to read a book with only one poem in it and nothing else. The illustrations helped. The book can work without it but with it it's more impactful. With that out of the way I appreciate the author for making this book and he also explained how he did a TED Talk in 2013 (that's 10 years ago now at the time of writing) and an animated video to much success.

Shane Koyczan is one of my favorite spoke word poets, and To This Day is a powerful expression of the lasting effects of bullying and the inner strength that allows people to move beyond it. ( )

This is an incredibly powerful poem about bullying and it aftermath. The poem gives examples of how people bully each other and the way the bullying can haunt a person. One example is a women, who even as an adult doesn't believe she is beautiful because of the way she was treated in school. The poem also mentions that suicide is what some bullied students turn to. The message is very moving without being 'cheesy.' The illustrations were provided by multiple illustrators that also provided their own brief stories of being bullied.

The anti-bullying poem that went viral on youtube is reproduced in this book, illustrated by 30 artists, with an intro by the poet. Back matter includes a history of the poem's impact and a list of anti-bullying resources. Pair with the video to inspire a rousing group or class discussion. ( )

From acclaimed spoken-word poet Shane Koyczan, the rallying cry against bullying that became a viral video viewed over 12 million times.

I'm not the only kid who grew up this way surrounded by people who used to say that rhyme about sticks and stones as if broken bones hurt more than the names we got called.

Now a dazzling illustrated book featuring the work of thirty artists from around the world, To This Day is a powerful expression of the lasting effects of bullying, and the inner strength that allows people to move beyond it. With a heartfelt personal preface by Shane, this extraordinary poem will resonate with anyone who has experienced bullying, whether as a victim, observer or participant.
