Reach for this book when your child has had a big mistake at home or school and is paralyzed by the fear that they have ruined everything. It is a perfect choice for the 'helpful' child who takes on a big responsibility but experiences a moment of panic when things go wrong. In this beautifully illustrated story set on a Scottish island, Katie Morag accidentally ruins the addresses on the mail she is supposed to deliver, leading to a scramble of emotions including shame, guilt, and the fear of getting into trouble. It provides a gentle framework for discussing how mistakes can be fixed and how honesty leads to resolution. Best for children aged 4 to 8, it models the idea that one mistake does not make you a failure and that adults can be understanding partners in solving problems. It is a comforting, realistic look at the weight of responsibility and the relief of being forgiven.
