Sunny Tells the Truth

the POP! book Ages 3–7

For: Little fibs

Sunny has the brightest smile in the Hollow, and the busiest. So when she tears the glow-garland she was trusted to carry, she does what every eager-to-please child has done: she hides it, and tells a little one. Fib by fib, small grey clouds pile up over her glow — until the girl made of sunshine can’t be found at the festival of light. One brave, true word sets it all free. A warm, honest story that never calls the fibber bad.

What it’s for

For the eager-to-please child who bends the truth to keep everyone smiling — the covered-up mistake, the “I didn’t,” the fib that grows because owning it feels too scary.

The word it leaves

Every Little Light gives your child one small word to keep. This one is

“POP!”

shouted — the truth bursts the clouds

You don’t have to teach it. The story hands it over, and children carry it out on their own — into the dark, the meltdown, the moment they need it.

Tucked in the back, like a gift
“Speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.”
Ephesians 4:25

One verse per book — never a billboard. A Christian family finds it and feels fed; every other family reads a beautiful story and never feels preached at.

One Hollow, one light. We only shine like this together.
