About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child has started telling white lies or playing tricks that hurt the feelings of others. It is an ideal resource for navigating the transition from innocent play to social responsibility, helping children see that being 'clever' at someone else's expense isn't true friendship. The story follows Little Miss Trouble, a character who thrives on creating chaos by telling fibs and pitting her neighbors against one another. Through her interactions with Mr. Uppity and the eventual intervention of Dr. Make-You-Well, the book explores themes of social accountability and justice. It is a lighthearted yet firm cautionary tale for the 3 to 7 age group, perfect for opening a conversation about how our words can impact the harmony of a group.
