Zašto baš ja: knjiga o nasilju među djecom
Why Me is a book about violence among children, combining a literary and professional approach. It consists of two parts: an artistic part, made up of stories by writer Hrvoje Kovačević, and a professional part, written by psychologist Gordana Buljan-Flan
Kovačević's story follows two groups of children – bullies and their victims – depicting the dynamics of peer violence through emotional and realistic situations. The characters are authentic, allowing young people to identify, while the story reveals the causes and consequences of violence in the school environment.
The expert section, signed by Buljan-Flander, offers concise information, comments and advice on peer violence. It covers the forms of violence (physical, verbal, psychological), its causes and consequences, and prevention strategies. Special sections, "Teachers' Corner" and "Parents' Corner", provide practical guidelines for recognizing and combating violence, making the book useful for educators and parents. Franjo Petruša's illustrations further enrich the text, making it more attractive to younger readers.
The book is intended for children, adolescents, teachers and parents, promoting empathy and understanding. The goal is to educate and empower young people to deal with violence, while providing adults with tools for intervention. The work is significant for the Croatian context, especially in schools, where peer violence is a common problem.
