Book of the Month: Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie

Learning to tell the truth is a difficult lesson to learn for everyone.  At school, teachers are handling those social situations where the truth cannot be deciphered from a lie.  Students are understanding which friends are the friends that can be trusted.  We are all finding ways to determine how we know when someone is being truthful with us.  Yet, what is most important about truth and lies is how we deal with it within ourselves. 
  
Our December Book of the Month is titled Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie by Laura Rankin.  The story is about a quiet, happy girl named Ruthie who discovers a treasure to add to her collection.  The problem is that Martin claims the treasure belongs to him.  The story is simple, but much can be taken from the story’s lesson.  All of us have been faced with situations like Ruthie’s, but what we do about it is where is learning begins with this book. 
Have fun reading this tiny book with a HUGE lesson!
