The question is important because bullying has been, and continues to be, a pervasive problem in and out of school. This research study is needed because it investigates portrayals of the bully, bullied, and bystanders, unlike previous research that focused only on the bully. This article provides a review of research on bullying, highlighting international and national research that used content analysis to analyze picture books on bullying. It discusses content analysis as the research methodology, and describes data sources, data categories, data collection methods, and data analysis procedures. It ends by identifying major findings, discussing implications of findings, and describing limitations of the study.  \nKeywords: bullying, portrayal, picture books, content analysis  \nIntroduction  \nBullying has been, and continues to be, a significant and pervasive problem in and out of school (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2016). In fact, instances of bullying today are on the rise, so much so, that it is considered a serious public health problem by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2006) . In school, teachers often use picture books that deal with bullying “to address, and perhaps deter, this behavior…knowing that in the hands of the right teacher at the right moment, a picture book can be a powerful tool for engaging students in dialogue that either ends the bullying or gives victims and bystanders the knowledge and confidence to face it” (Entenman, Murnen, & Hendricks, 2005, p. 362). At the same time, teachers also understand that selecting appropriate picture books on bullying is as important as using them with students.  \nSelecting appropriate picture books on bullying is complex. Teachers need to consider type (fiction or nonfiction) and content of the book (physical, emotional, psychological, cyber bullying), context of bullying (in school or out of school), and how the bullying is resolved or unresolved (bullying stops or continues). A good start is to analyze portrayals of bullying in picture books. This analysis provides information to help teachers select picture books that will help students better understand, recognize, and, ultimately, prevent bullying in and out of schools (Daniel, 2014).  \nThis research study investigated one question: How is bullying portrayed in selected picture books? The purpose of this study was to conduct a content analysis of the portrayal of bullying in selected picture books, and present findings  \n∗Professor, Kent State University, USA.  \nfrom this analysis that will provide K-8 teachers understandings and insights for selecting picture books on bullying to share with students.  \nThis article begins by describing the operational definition of bullying used in this study, followed by a description of the problem. Next, it provides a review of research on bullying, highlighting international and national research that used content analysis to analyze picture books on bullying. Then, it describes the significance of the study, identifies the research question, discusses content analysis as the research methodology, identifies the research team, as well as describes data sources, data categories, data collection methods, and data analysis procedures. It ends by discussing major findings and implications of findings and identifying limitations of the study.  \nOperational Definition  \nBullying is complex, and therefore is defined in multiple ways. It is defined as“a specific type of aggression in which behavior towards others is intended to harm, occurs repeatedly over time, and involves an imbalance of power in which the person with power attacks the less powerful victim”(Nansel et al., 20","cbCaijAK0u80UZwk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijAK0u80UZwk","pdf",191671,25,"English","# Introduction\n## Operational Definition\n## Description of the Problem\n## Content Analysis Methodology\n## Major Findings, Implications, and Limitations","[{\"question\":\"What research question does the study investigate?\",\"answer\":\"How is bullying portrayed in selected picture books?
