From the publisher

Someone left a pencil on the floor--of course she tripped! She tries to make it better. A knock-knock joke? Check. A snickerdoodle? Yum. A quick "sorry"? Done! So why is Leo still upset? Maybe because Sallie hasn't thought about how Leo feels--or added the most important part to her apology: the because. Time for a do-over. With a little courage and a lot of heart, Sallie is ready to make things right--for real. Sallie Bee Says "I'm Sorry" is a warm, relatable story about taking responsibility, offering true apologies, and learning from our mistakes.
