Finn's Little Fibs (Paperback)

A reassuring and humorous picture book that explores honesty, accountability, and emotional repair through a relatable family story. When Finn accidentally breaks something important, a small lie quickly grows and begins to affect his relationships. The story gently follows Finn as he navigates worry, guilt, and the challenge of telling the truth, helping children understand that mistakes can be repaired through honesty and care.
Helpful when

A child is learning about honesty, consequences, or how to make things right after a mistake.
Why this is Roost approved

Stories that explore everyday moral dilemmas support early childhood intervention by giving children a safe way to reflect on behaviour and emotions. By showing how a small fib can grow and impact relationships, the book helps children understand cause and effect in social situations. Repetition of emotional themes and a clear resolution support understanding over time, while the focus on repair and reconnection aligns with ECI approaches to emotional and social development.
