Book Summary

When Eric smashes Percy's pot of prize pansies, he tries to get away with it. But when none of his tactics work, Eric says sorry. His father pays for a new pot and Eric learns that grace is epic.

This fun, rhyming storybook introduces young children to the biblical concept of grace and teaches them to say sorry.

Combined with stunning artwork by Xavier Bonet, Eric says sorry will quickly become a firm favorite with young children.

We love reading to our kids – and all the more when it’s one of those rare books, like this one, that combines four elements: the right length, good rhyme and illustrations, and significant soul-shaping truth. We’re eager for every good help we can get not only to teach our kids to say sorry, but also to feel the force, beauty, and cost of God’s "undeserved kindness when we’ve been bad."
