Sharon E. Harris has written the book My Dog Gizmo to tell a story that teaches both children and adults the importance of forgiveness. Many times adults teach children good moral etiquette but sometimes forget that they also need to "live what they preach." Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do when someone has been wronged, but the importance of forgiveness is untested. Children are taught what to do, and rightfully so, but as adults, we also need to "remember" to do the things that we so diligently teach our children. This book will show different emotions, how children process some of these emotions, and how they can be life's lessons to both children and adults.
