The lamp is broken, footsteps are coming down the hall — and a lie is sitting right there, ready to use. This book shows children why the truth always wins: lies feel sweet for a moment and then tangle, snowball, and fall apart, while truth endures forever and sets us free.

Each short chapter ends with a prayer to repeat or one small thing to do, and the book closes with the Truth-Teller's Pledge.
