About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when they notice their child beginning to experiment with 'tall tales' or white lies to avoid trouble. It is specifically designed for those moments when a child feels that admitting a mistake is too scary or will lead to a loss of status. By framing honesty as a form of knightly courage, the story transforms a moral obligation into a heroic quest that children can take pride in pursuing. The story follows a young protagonist through a fantasy world where the greatest challenge isn't a dragon or a monster, but the internal struggle to speak the truth. It uses classic fairy tale tropes to explain that integrity is the ultimate armor. Ideal for children aged 4 to 8, this book serves as a gentle conversation starter about why we value the truth and how being honest actually makes us stronger and more reliable friends.
