A practical guide to saying “I’m sorry”

David LaRochelle uses humorous animal mishaps—a porcupine popping a friend’s balloon and a speedy snail stepping on a sloth’s toes—to introduce when, why, and how to apologize. The guide pairs these examples with practical tips, making apologies the focus of a children’s book about manners and social-emotional learning. Its central reminder is straightforward: saying sorry can be difficult, but the steps need not be complicated.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children learning about apologies and everyday manners
  • Families or educators looking for a story-based way to discuss social-emotional skills
  • Older children who would benefit from a reminder about apologizing
