Valentino didn’t mean to lie.

It all happened so fast.....a broken vase, a frightened heart, and a moment of panic.

But when Rafael was the one punished, the guilt in Valentino’s chest started to grow.

No matter how hard he tried to forget, the truth wouldn’t stay hidden. In this heartfelt and redemptive story, Valentino discovers something beautiful:That truth, though sometimes scary, brings peace.

That saying sorry takes courage and that Jesus is always ready to help us make things right.

With gentle warmth and spiritual depth, The Day I Told a Lie invites children into a safe space to reflect on honesty, guilt, forgiveness, and grace.
It reminds young readers that even when we’ve made a mistake, we are never alone, Jesus walks with us, forgives us, and gives us the strength to start again.
