This balanced introduction to forgiveness from a Christian perspective uses simple sentences and everyday scenarios to show children the power of three simple words: "I forgive you."

A note "For Grown-Ups" offers suggestions for conversations with children about when and how to forgive in a healthy way. Ideal for ages 4-7.

"Along with 'please' and 'thank you,' children must also learn to say 'I forgive you.' Nicole Lataif's delightful book introduces children to the gift of forgiveness, and is an outstanding resource for those adults called to teach it."
Fr. R. Scott Hurd, author of Forgiveness: A Catholic Approach

"Understanding the need for and having the courage to seek forgiveness can be a difficult topic to address with children... A note "For Grown-ups" at the beginning sets the stage for the lessons contained in the book and will be useful to teachers and parents as they teach children to understand forgiveness. The children's forgiveness prayer, located after the main text, is useful in showing children how they can seek forgiveness from others and talk with God about their troubles?Provide this book in a classroom or school library to be used as a bridge with children for whom the subject of forgiveness has been previously explored."
-Roberta R. Wahlberg, Catholic Library World review
