Synopsis: "The perfect balance of humor and gravity. . . . Equally useful as a lesson on social-emotional dynamics and as a story, this book has a place on every shelf." --Kirkus Reviews (starred reviews)

Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone knew how to apologize? Luckily, this humorous guidebook is full of practical tips about when, why, and how to say you're sorry. From a porcupine who accidentally popped his friend's balloon to a snail who was running so fast he stepped on a sloth's toes, hilarious examples and sweet illustrations abound. For both listeners who are just learning and older readers who need a refresher, this book will come as a welcome reminder that even though apologizing can be hard, it doesn't have to be complicated.
