The Watcher by Nikki Grimes, and illustrated by Bryan Collier is a story inspired by Psalm 121 and is written in two ways: a story narrative and a poem within the lines of the story, called a golden shovel. A story about bullying, told from two different standpoints: the bully Tanya, and her usual victim Jordan. Jordan lives in fear of Tanya, unaware of the worries and troubles that Tanya bears alone. The Lord is watching over both of them and helps to guide them along a path that might just help them to understand each other and even forge a new friendship.
