Dawn E. Garrott - Author
This is a values-focused story about a young child who feels excluded, faces pressure to keep a dangerous secret, and considers whether honesty and faith can guide his choice.
"Six-year-old Riley is not able to ride a bike yet or read, so he is always feeling left out when his brother William and their friends Jonathan, Pam, and Sam are playing together. But when Riley is forced to choose between keeping a dangerous secret and telling the truth to his parents, he relies on his faith in God to do the right thing. This story teaches children the value of truthfulness when Riley experiences peer pressure to keep something from his parents, and it will provide parents and children with the opportunity to talk about the issues of truthfulness and friendship as Riley tries to resolve his dilemma"--
