Luther Tells A Lie

Reach for this book when you notice your child has started using small fibs to avoid getting in trouble or when they seem heavy with the weight of a secret. It addresses the natural impulse to hide mistakes and the anxiety that follows a lie, offering a gentle path toward relief through the truth. The story follows Luther, who makes a mistake and chooses to cover it up rather than face the consequences. As the lie grows, so does his internal discomfort, illustrating that the cover-up is often more stressful than the original error. It is a developmentally appropriate tool for children ages 3 to 7, emphasizing that honesty is the fastest way to repair trust and feel light again. Parents will appreciate how it frames honesty not as a rigid rule, but as a way to maintain close, loving relationships.
