About the Book

About the Book

When Elephant mistakenly does something that upsets his friend, he’s not sure what to do. Should he run? Hide? Blame someone else?

In time, Elephant’s able to put himself in his friend’s shoes and say the two words he truly means: I’m sorry. An answer doesn’t come right away, but Elephant’s patience is rewarded when his friend invites him to play again.

With a light touch, How to Say You’re Sorry and its companion book How to Cheer Up a Friend show children ways to be kind and get along with one another.
