Telling the truth is easy to explain and hard to do when a child is scared of the answer. In these stories your child is the one who tells the truth or owns up to a mistake, and the story shows what happens after.

For the youngest the theme is telling the truth kindly. Older children get themes about owning up, doing the right thing when nobody is watching, and holding on to what they believe when it would be easier to go along.
