Soon, Milo learns that hiding a mistake only makes his heart feel heavier.
With help from his dad and teacher, Milo discovers that honesty means telling the truth, even when it is hard. After admitting his mistake, apologizing, and helping make things right, Milo learns that honesty can turn a scary moment into a chance to grow.

- Character education
- Social-emotional learning
