I read the story to my third grade students. The kids enjoyed the story. It was a bit long, but the message was clear. I love that the book has discussion questions at the end of the story.
Saying "sorry" makes people think that the careless wrongs they've done to others makes it all OK. It doesn't and this book explains why "sorry" isn't enough. Adults need to learn this as well.
