Lighten your heart and speak true with Wolf in Honesty Speaks True - Book 7 of the beloved series The Seven Grandfather Teachings: Indigenous Wisdom for Young Hearts by Mohawk author Jem Maracle.
When Wolf tells a small fib to avoid trouble and feels heavy inside, tall, funny Sabe appears with his big goofy grin and teaches the sacred teaching of Honesty: speaking clearly from the heart, being yourself without hiding, and letting truth keep your spirit free and light. Through a gentle confession and Sabe's simple, honest ways, Wolf learns how truth builds trust, lifts burdens, and brings everyone closer together.
Perfect for ages 4-10, this rhyming picture book features:
- Short, uplifting rhymes ideal for bedtime stories, classroom sharing, or circle time
