Tall Tales, Tattles, and Tears: A Collection of Woodland Fables About Honesty and Friendship
A gentle, story-based resource designed to help children—especially those with autism or social communication challenges—learn honesty, emotional regulation, and positive social behavior.
In the heart of the woodland, three lovable friends discover that honesty, kindness, and trust matter more than attention, exaggeration, or quick reactions.
Young readers will follow:
Tommy the Toucan, who learns the difference between telling stories and telling the truth
Maya the Mouse, who discovers when to speak up for safety—and when tattling isn’t helpful
Leo the Little Bear, who realizes that attention-seeking behaviors (like crying or exaggerating) don’t build real friendships
Built for real-life behavior challenges
This book is especially helpful for children who:
struggle with tattling vs. reporting
exaggerate stories or have difficulty with honesty
use crying or attention-seeking behaviors to communicate needs
have challenges with social skills, boundaries, and peer relationships
Ideal for children with:
A powerful tool for parents, teachers, and ABA professionals
Each story creates natural opportunities to:

A message every child needs
Being honest, kind, and true to yourself will always matter more than being the loudest voice in the room.
