This is What I Did

A parent might reach for this book when their child is burdened by a significant mistake or secret and needs help finding the courage to be honest. The story follows Logan, a middle schooler consumed by guilt over a bullying incident gone wrong. He writes down his confession, 'This is what I did,' but can't bring himself to share it. The narrative powerfully explores themes of shame, accountability, and the difficult path to forgiveness. For ages 8 to 12, this book provides a gentle, character-driven look at a tough situation. It's an excellent choice for opening conversations about peer pressure, personal integrity, and the relief that comes from telling the truth.
