Why this book fits

Frank learns that telling the truth does not require saying every thought in a way that hurts other people.

The familiar social mistakes invite young learners to distinguish honesty from unkind delivery using concrete examples.

Teaching focus

Revise blunt statements so they remain truthful, useful, and considerate.
