Synopsis

A warm, engaging story about honesty and growing from mistakes.

When a boy sneaks off to play with a toy mom told him not to, he’s surprised to learn, “Oh no, I have a conscience!” A wise, old tree steps in to help the boy learn that being honest is about more than not telling lies. Sneaking around because you know something is wrong is a kind of dishonesty too, and it doesn’t feel good on the inside.

"A conscience is that voice in your head and feeling in your heart that tells you if something is right or wrong, even when no one is looking.”

With heartwarming wisdom, the tree shows the boy how to make honest choices and to grow from his mistakes. The story teaches children how to listen to their conscience so they can feel the true reward of making good choices—that feeling of pride for having done the right thing, even when it’s hard.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Colleen will tell you that having four kids is great because you can say things like, “It is not ok to roast marshmallows over my scented candle,” and because they are a never-ending supply of material for books. After 15 years in marketing and freelance writing, Colleen first turned to children’s book writing as a project to raise money for a foster home in Beijing, China, where her family was living at the time. Super Easy Storytelling, her first children’s book (written with her daughter), is about how to tell stories together on the fly— which was the family’s way of calming the chaos that comes with four kids in a car, restaurant, or really anyplace they needed to behave. The Talking with Trees series is thanks to the kids as well. Colleen wrote the series based on real experiences with tearful children facing the tough business of growing up into good people. Colleen and her husband live in California with a houseful.
