I Love to Tell the Truth

It is designed for moments when a child has made a mistake and feels paralyzed by the fear of getting in trouble. The story provides a gentle, relatable framework for understanding that mistakes are manageable, but the guilt of hiding them is often much heavier than the truth itself.
