Tattle Tails is an award-winning, heartwarming children's story that gently explores a common challenge among siblings and classmates: the difference between tattling and telling.
Young readers meet Skylar and Brodie, two spirited siblings who constantly report each other's small missteps, whether it's a toy taken or a rule bent, leaving the adults around them feeling overwhelmed. Through familiar, real-life situations, the story introduces the difference between tattling, sharing minor complaints to get someone in trouble, and telling, speaking up when someone is hurt, in danger, or truly needs help.
Rather than prescribing exact language for children to use, Tattle Tails models common unkind behaviors and creates space for caregivers and educators to define expectations that fit their home, classroom, or school environment. When reminders alone aren't enough, Skylar and Brodie's parents introduce a creative and comforting solution: the Tattle Tail, a stuffed animal designed to listen to small complaints without judgment.
As the story unfolds, children see how having a safe outlet helps reduce unnecessary reporting, encourages independence, and supports healthier communication, allowing relationships at home and school to grow stronger over time.
Tattle Tails is more than a story; it's a conversation starter. The book concludes with a flexible guide for parents, caregivers, and educators that offers simple prompts and strategies to reinforce emotional awareness and appropriate help-seeking, while allowing adults to tailor discussions to their own values and setting.
Recognized with the International Firebird Book Award (Children's Educational category), a Reader's Choice Award, and a 5-Star Editorial Seal of Excellence, Tattle Tails is ideal for children ages 3-9, and well-suited for families, classrooms, counseling spaces, and anyone looking to foster empathy, understanding, and meaningful conversations.
