9A lie is a lie, no matter what. This is what our Clothes Friend learns from Timmy in this book. Children learn to stretch the truth often to avoid getting into trouble. Distractions cause even well-intended actions to be stretched into lies that bring harmful consequences in the end. This book teaches children to be honest in a fun, loving way. Olga Beaman has been married to her high school sweetheart, Frank Beaman for 38 years. As a recent empty-nester, she has decided to put her dreams into action by writing children's books that emphasize morals. Most of her inspiration has come from raising 5 children and the many children she has taught in Sunday School throughout the years.
