The Goody-Naughty Book

A bright, breezy tale opens on a country farm where a young boy named Honor Bright earns the trust of his feathered and furry neighbors by keeping his promises. His daily rituals of feeding geese, chickens, rabbits, and a mischievous cat weave a gentle portrait of responsibility and the simple joy of caring for others.

Across the garden, Rose‑Red’s love of fresh flowers becomes a quiet conduit for reconciliation. When a hurtful slap turns into a heartfelt apology delivered in a fragrant “mailbox,” the story shows how kindness and forgiveness can blossom even after the sharpest thorns.

The collection rounds out with a playful “Tree Game,” where siblings Margaret and Benjy transform illness into imagination, turning pine trees into singing companions. Together, these vignettes celebrate the everyday magic of honesty, compassion, and creative wonder, inviting listeners to linger in a world where every small act can grow into a larger, heart‑warming adventure.
