"This is a fantastic book for any school counseling program! It's delivered in such a way that younger kids will understand the message of what integrity truly is and what their role is... do what you say and say what you mean. That's hard to understand for younger kids but this book truly delivers that message." - LLeining

"The author has done a stellar job of giving scenarios that kids will understand that demonstrate the lack of integrity. She then moves forward explaining the meaning of the word and how it is important to have integrity in your life. It is a story of personal growth and taking responsibility for your actions thus making you a much better person.

The illustrations are very well done. They are colourful, detailed and full of expression. I love them! If you are an educator this will be a perfect book to offer your students the first week of school. A copy should be in classrooms as well as elementary school libraries. You will find Tips for parents and educators at the back of the which are most helpful. I'm being honest about the book... it's wonderful! I highly recommend this book." - Marilyn Panton, NetGalley

"Not only do students need to be reminded about integrity, but teachers need to be sure they are great models of integrity." - Shelley, Verified Purchaser
