About This Book

When your home is filled with the chorus of 'It wasn't me!', this book offers a gentle and humorous way to talk about taking responsibility. The story follows the Hueys, a group of simple, identical characters, whose fun is interrupted when a tall tower is knocked down. A frenzy of finger-pointing and blame follows until one Huey bravely admits it was an accident. This clever book is perfect for ages 4 to 8, using minimalist art and a universally relatable scenario to explore themes of honesty, guilt, and forgiveness without being preachy or heavy-handed.
