Would I Ever Lie to You?

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to navigate the tricky social waters of teasing, sarcasm, or older siblings who love to tell tall tales. It is a perfect choice for kids who take things literally and need a gentle, humorous way to learn the difference between a mean-spirited lie and a playful 'gotcha' moment. Through the relatability of a cousin who claims everything from pet lions to secret superpowers, the story validates a child's frustration while providing a roadmap for social discernment. The book follows a young boy as he tries to figure out if his older cousin is being serious or just having a laugh. It touches on themes of honesty, trust, and the importance of standing up for oneself in a way that feels safe and supportive. It is ideally suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate more complex peer and family dynamics, helping them build the emotional intelligence to laugh along or say 'no more' with confidence.
