Luca lives in a lighthouse, and loves books. One day, after meeting a new friend, he tells a little lie, which soon becomes many...
The Little Lie was written to help parents when children tell untruths. It is based on research which suggests that children are more likely to tell the truth if they are not shamed for lying, but rather praised for telling the truth, even when it is difficult or uncomfortable to do so. The Little Lie is a Storyberries picture book, and can be read free online in digital format at Storyberries.com About StoryberriesStoryberries.com was founded in 2015 with the aim of creating a free, easily-accessible online collection of quality stories, comics, fairy tales and poems for children.
