Reach for this book when your child comes home confused by a rumor or hurt by something a friend said behind their back. It is a gentle yet effective tool for addressing the 'sting' of gossip and how quickly unkind words can spiral out of control. Flutterby, a tiny flying horse with a big heart, discovers that a small whisper can grow into a scary storm of misinformation, upsetting the peaceful butterflies of Wingsong. Through this whimsical fantasy, children ages 4 to 8 learn that words have power and that seeking the truth is better than spreading a tale. Parents will appreciate the way it externalizes the abstract concept of gossip into something visible and manageable. It is an ideal choice for modeling integrity and showing how to stop a rumor in its tracks before it causes real harm to the community.
