I'm Sorry
Illustrated by Jennifer Eachus
One of the hardest lessons we have to learn is how to say 'I'm sorry'. In this lyrical love story, the little boy and girl, who love each other best of all, are sad until they learn to say I'm sorry when they shout at each other and fall out. An important lesson for adults too! The pictures, softly painted in pastel colours, show the children splashing in puddles, playing games, sharing the wonder of tadpoles, and learning how to retrieve their friendship when things go wrong. A glowing amalgamation of words and illustration.
