Chloe has a sneaky habit of making up stories. She thinks it’s no big deal, but one day crazy little fluffs appear every time she tells a lie. Chloe starts stuffing the fluffs in her closet, but soon it’s almost ready to burst. Not only that, she realizes that her lies are sinful and are hurting her relationships. But after her father confesses his own lie and asks God for forgiveness, Chloe gains the courage to let out all of her secrets. Most children (and adults too) struggle with being completely truthful. Even though we know it’s wrong to not tell the whole truth, it’s still hard to help a child understand why. Best-selling author Ginger Hubbard and Al Roland give parents practical suggestions for helping their children (and themselves) learn to speak the truth. The parent resource page at the end of Chloe and the Closet of Secrets: A Book about Lying gives a biblical framework to help children understand what a lie is, some reasons that they lie, and the power of confession and forgiveness. Children ages 4-7 will love the silly story with its bright, fun illustrations, and in the process be encouraged to always tell the truth. Chloe and the Closet of Secrets is part of the new Teaching Children to Use Their Words Wisely series.

“Every parent is looking for creative, helpful resources to reinforce the biblical themes they are teaching their kids. As a pastor and parent, I highly recommend Chloe and the Closet of Secrets for your family. We often think little white lies—these seemingly cute and innocent deceptions—are harmless. But the sooner we help our kids see the destructive results of a dishonest life, the better we are shaping them to live an obedient and repentant life for Christ. Ginger Hubbard and Al Roland are wonderful guides for your family.” Daniel Darling, Director of the Land Center for Faith and Culture, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; bestselling author of several books, including, The Characters of Christmas, A Way with Words,and The Dignity Revolution
