About The Fib: 

“An effective and sympathetic exploration of lies—and the importance of telling the truth.”

– KIRKUS REVIEWS

“A wise picture book about the snowballing consequences of dishonesty.”

– FOREWORD REVIEWS

When Pepe struggles to find something exciting for show and tell, he spins a little lie about a magical creature with horns like a ram, claws like a bear, wings like a bat, eyes like an owl, and a tail like a lion. But, Pepe and his class soon discover that this harmless fib takes on a life of its own— literally— growing into a giant, uncontrollable monster that threatens to eat the entire school.

As chaos ensues, Pepe learns a valuable lesson: even the smallest fib can spiral out of control, but the truth holds the power to set things right. The Fib is a timeless story that weaves magic and morality into a powerful message about honesty, responsibility and the power of creativity.
