Leo's mom has been saying "NO" to everything he's been doing all day and he is not too happy about it. Leo gets so upset at his mother that he says those terrible three words to her. "I hate you!" Leo immediately regrets saying it and wants to take it back. Find out how Leo and his mom handle the aftermath in this wonderful book about love and forgiveness.

I absolutely love this book. My children love this book. It not only gives an accurate account of the angry emotions of a child (and a mother), but it also discusses how someone feels after saying those hurtful words and after hearing them. This book is great for teaching forgiveness and patience. I highly recommend it!
