Reach for this book when your child is facing a high-pressure situation, like a school performance, and is struggling with the temptation to deflect blame when things go wrong. In this relatable school story, Gilbert the opossum is terrified of making a mistake during his George Washington play. When a vital prop disappears, his anxiety turns into an unfair accusation against a friend. This story beautifully captures the physical sensation of guilt (the butterflies) and the courage it takes to admit to a lie. It is an excellent tool for teaching children that mistakes are manageable, but honesty is what truly saves the day. Perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating early social accountability and performance anxiety.
