Teach young children the importance of honesty, kindness, and emotional awareness with Always Tell the Truth, a heartwarming children's book by Marina Swan. Designed for ages 3-7, the story follows Ellie, a curious ginger kitten, and Ollie, a patient golden retriever, as they navigate a small accident at home. When a vase is broken, Ellie isn't sure whether to tell the truth or stay quiet. With Ollie's calm guidance, she learns that honesty builds trust, courage, and loving connections.
What sets Always Tell the Truth apart is the inclusion of thoughtful activity and discussion questions at the end of the book. These prompts encourage children to reflect on the story, explore their own feelings, and talk about honesty, kindness, and responsibility. Perfect for parents, teachers, and caregivers, these activities turn reading into a meaningful, interactive learning experience, supporting emotional literacy, social-emotional development, and oral language skills.
