When one tiny mistake turns into a really big "oops," can friendship help make things right?
Evie can hardly believe it when her colorful chalk sunset is chosen for her school's annual art show. Along with the other Greenwood Girls, she's excited to proudly display her artwork and celebrate with family and friends. But in one unexpected moment, everything changes.
The picture is ruined, feelings are hurt, and finger-pointing quickly takes center stage. As disappointment and frustration grow, the girls must decide what happens next.
With caring guidance and honest conversations, the Greenwood Girls discover that mistakes do not define who they are. Instead, mistakes are opportunities to listen, take responsibility, repair harm, and grow stronger together.
Filled with warmth, friendship, and meaningful restorative lessons, The Greenwood Girls and the Art Show Oops helps young readers understand that everyone makes mistakes, second chances matter, and true friendship takes courage, honesty, empathy, and teamwork.
Perfect for classrooms, counseling groups, and families, this heartwarming story encourages children to embrace accountability, practice empathy, and discover the power of making things right.
