Telling the truth can be difficult and upsetting, especially if the outcome could cause trouble. A lie might seem the easier course when you've broken your brother's favorite toy or haven't yet cleaned your room, though you were asked to. Readers are introduced to the definition of a lie through accessible language and real-life examples. Then, the benefits of truth telling are presented to readers in a way that's easy to understand and apply to their lives immediately. Full-color photographs accompany the text to help readers identify with the outcomes of a lie and the reasons to tell the truth instead.
