Oi, Fiona!

There is a ruckus in the daycare yard. Friends admire pictures of each other’s pets. Fiona feels left out. Her ears are ringing. Cheeks are hot. She can’t think of anything to say. Suddenly she exclaims, “I got three kittens!” 

White Lie has settled on Fiona’s shoulder. It is wonderfully soft and warm. It whispers things to her that she likes to hear. About kittens, ice cream and a beach holiday. About things that haven’t quite happened yet, but almost. Or they could happen. 

A fascinating adventure charms Fiona until the lies grow too big. Fiona learns about all kinds of lies in this relatable story for preschool-aged children. Fortunately, she comes up with a solution to tame the lies together with her friends.
