* Clever, funny, and true--really.-- Kirkus Reviews (starred
review)
* The animals, rendered expressively by Bliss, learn what kids
already know and adults too easily forget: the capacity to say I'm
sorry--and mean it--is no small thing.--PW (starred review)
A sweet and thoughtful picture book about how one act of kindness can
change the world, written by publishing legend Joanna Cotler and
illustrated by New York Times bestseller Harry Bliss.
Cow was in a nasty mood. When Duck came along Cow kicked mud in her
face.
Why'd you do that? asked Duck.
I felt like it, said Cow. And I'm not sorry.
Little did Cow know that her bad mood would spread to the whole farm.
But it does when Cow passes her anger along to Duck who takes it out on
Frog who is mean to Bird who upsets Goat who bothers Pig. Until
good-hearted Dog turns things around by showing kindness to Pig, turning
not sorry into sorry (really sorry). But will that be enough to mend all
of the hurt feelings on the farm?
With a charming text by Joanna Cotler and beautiful artwork by New York
Times bestseller Harry Bliss, this is a picture book about the power of
reactivity and how to diffuse it with love. Being sorry (really sorry)
can make a world of difference and make your world different too.
Praise for Sorry (Really Sorry)
Funny and touching and had a nice, rhythmic feel to it that I think
would work well in storytime. --Jean Little Library
