Finding forgiveness

---

When a young boy’s beloved bird flies away, the only thing harder than tracking it down is forgiving the friend who let it escape. As he searches the town from sidewalk to treetop, what he finds instead of his lost pet is that people make mistakes all the time. But it might take his own mistake to discover the even when all seems lost, forgiveness is a gift that comes back to you.



Told entirely in wordless illustrations with pops of color for every moment of forgiveness, this simple yet powerful story can be enjoyed by young readers, families, classmates, and friends. For anyone who has had a fight or experienced conflict with someone they care about—something we all go through—this gentle picture book shares comfort and timeless wisdom.

WHY FORGIVENESS Apologies are hard to give, and forgiveness is even harder, but each genuine moment of sincerity can soothe hurt feelings. This heartwarming book demonstrates that unintentional mistakes are a part of everyday life and that choosing to forgive is a form of kindness.



TEACHING Created by award-winning Slovenian artist Marta Bartolj, this universal story furthers the message in her debut book, Every Little Kindness. It demonstrates how to build on kind acts by pairing a sincere apology with genuine forgiveness.
