From the talented author of Ruby's Worry and Herman's Letter comes another book from the Big Bright Felling series, Finn's Little Fibs: A Big Bright Feelings Book. This book is one to add to every child's shelf.

Finn and his sister are going to stay with Grandma. While there, Finn tells a small fib after breaking his Grandma's clock. This grows and grows as he tries to explain everything. The fibs make Finn feel a bit weird and stop him enjoying himself. Finn learns that when you tell the truth, you feel much better.

In this book the fibs are shown as coloured blobs floating in front of Finn. This helps children to visualise the fibs being told. This simple story helps children understand that honesty is important. A wonderful book to begin conversations with young children. A reminder to all children that we need to talk about how we are feeling.
