Helping adults address hard conversations with children without fear
Honesty is a treasure worth protecting
In What If We Were All Honest!, award-winning author C.M. Harris invites young readers on a thoughtful, heart-centered journey that explores the importance of telling the truth, building trust, and taking responsibility for our actions. Through engaging rhyme and vibrant illustrations, children learn how honesty helps us make things right, strengthens friendships, and brings peace of mind.
This story focuses on meaningful honesty-being truthful when it matters most, such as owning mistakes, asking for help, and building trust with friends and trusted adults. It gently shows that honesty is not about being hurtful, but about being responsible, brave, and kind.
A symbolic treasure chest of honesty appears throughout the story, reminding readers that telling the truth is something valuable-something that grows brighter each time we choose it.
Perfect for children ages 6-10, this book is an excellent resource for:
Classrooms and SEL discussions
Parents raising emotionally aware children
Counselors and social workers
Character education and PBIS programs
? Includes a thoughtful Author's Note for Parents & Educators to support conversations about honesty, trust, and age-appropriate communication
? Part of the beloved What If We Were(R) series
? Encourages accountability, empathy, and leadership in young readers
Because honesty isn't about hurting feelings-it's about building trust, doing what's right, and sleeping peacefully at night.
