Endless.In The Gentle Truth, a child begins to notice the small moments that tell a different story. A tired smile. A quiet sigh. Hands that shake just a little when no one is watching.

Instead, it invites readers to sit gently with the idea that love becomes stronger when it is shared honestly, imperfections and all.Perfect for families, classrooms, and quiet moments together, The Gentle Truth is a reminder that needing one another doesn't make love smaller-it makes it deeper.
