A Big Fat Enormous Lie

Reach for this book when you notice your child is acting unusually anxious, defensive, or physically weighed down by a secret they are afraid to share. This classic story follows a young boy who tells a small lie about eating a cookie, only to watch that lie manifest into a physical, green monster that follows him everywhere, growing larger and more obnoxious with every passing second. It brilliantly externalizes the internal sensation of guilt and anxiety, making it a perfect tool for children ages 4 to 8. Parents will find this book an invaluable resource for discussing the heavy burden of dishonesty and the immense relief that comes with telling the truth, even when the truth is difficult to say.
