About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to test boundaries or has made a mistake and feels they cannot fix it. While it begins with a thief's humorous lifestyle, it is ultimately a story about the transformative power of empathy and the idea that it is never too late to start over. It provides a non-threatening way to discuss accountability and the 'why' behind rules. Burglar Bill is a career thief who lives a lonely life until he accidentally 'steals' a baby. Caring for someone else changes his heart, leading him to return his stolen goods and find a path toward honesty and family. Parents will appreciate the cozy, retro illustrations and the message that our choices define us more than our pasts. It is a gentle, funny classic perfect for ages 3 to 7.
