About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is nursing a grudge or struggling to forgive a friend who made a genuine mistake. It is an ideal tool for those moments when 'I'm sorry' has been said, but the hurt feelings still remain. The story follows a young boy whose friend accidentally lets his pet bird escape. As the boy searches for his pet, he witnesses various people in his community making and forgiving small mistakes, leading him to a realization about his own heart. This wordless narrative allows children to process complex emotions like resentment and empathy at their own pace. It is a gentle, visually stunning reminder that while holding onto anger feels like protection, letting it go is the ultimate act of kindness for everyone involved. Parents will appreciate how it visualizes the 'invisible' weight of a grudge and the bright relief of reconciliation.
