Roses Are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink: A Story About Kindness, Friendship, and Making Amends (Gilbert the Opossum)

by Diane deGroat

Description

When Gilbert the Opossum discovers that his friends are upset, he learns that good intentions aren’t always enough—especially when hurt feelings and misunderstandings pile up. Through a series of everyday moments, Gilbert navigates friendship, embarrassment, and the challenge of making things right, discovering that kindness is more than a feeling: it’s an action. With warmth and humor, this story invites young readers to recognize their impact on others and to practice empathy, apology, and repair. Diane deGroat’s engaging, accessible storytelling makes the lessons about compassion and amends feel both relatable and empowering.
