I would do 0 stars if I could! My son who is in Kindergarten was given this book for Christmas by a classmate as the parent thought it was an among book revolving Jesus.

The entire book has awful language where the child yells at all of his friends and siblings, speaking to them in rude way, etc. It even gets to the point where the child is sent to his room for a “time out” for being mean to his family and friends, where the author writes...
“ is stay in here and starve all night, for app that anyone cared. They’d find be sick and shriveled up not that I’d be scared. And boy, would they be sorry, when they found be here like this....”

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! AND NOT OKAY!!!

Great story to teach kids forgiveness. Written as a poem this is a great story to read to children and then have a discussion about forgiveness. I will definitely be using this book in my Sunday school class!

This is a great book for children (and adults too!) about the importance of forgiving those who have wronged you or who you may have wronged. This is one of my favorites for my children!
