Our Review

This thoughtful picture book tackles the important lesson of responsibility through a relatable story about a child's accidental mistake.

The narrative gently explores British values through this family dilemma, showing how honesty ultimately resolves the situation. Children aged five to seven will connect with Sasha's struggle between fear and doing what's right.

What makes this moral development book particularly effective is how it presents accountability in terms children can understand, without being preachy. The grandmother's wise explanation about facing consequences provides a comforting framework for difficult conversations about truthfulness. This character education story serves as an excellent conversation starter for parents navigating responsibility lessons with their kindergarten and early elementary children. The resolution demonstrates how apology and honesty can repair relationships, leaving readers with a sense of hope about making amends.
