In Hawkins Hollow, Callen Crow’s surprise caw scares Spencer Field Mouse, and the hurt sticks around like a poky burr. Spencer is not ready to feel fine right away, but he is ready to try a softer way forward. With a simple three-step plan, Spencer learns to say how he felt, hear an apology, and do a small repair instead of staying stuck in the hurt. A tiny dirt patch by the fence line becomes a forgiveness garden where small steps make things softer. This warm read-aloud story supports children as they explore apology, forgiveness, repair, friendship, and the idea that forgiveness can take time.
