This isn’t just a story, it’s a structure.

One that supports your child in developing inner strength, compassion, and good judgment - with consistency and intention.

Here's how you can introduce this book to your child:

  • 📖 Read the story together to spark meaningful dialogue and help your child begin building a value they can carry for life.

  • 💬 Use the included Parent Guide to support the experience. It offers thoughtful prompts and conversation starters—so you’re never at a loss for words and can guide your child with confidence.

Ivneet Ahuja

Founder & Storyteller, Moral Sense.

"Most stories we read to children are entertaining, but often so fictional that even when they carry a moral, it is hard for a child to truly grasp it.

Moral Sense stories are set in real-life situations, moments every child has experienced or soon will. They help children see themselves in the story, not as distant characters, but as participants in their own growth.

Each story is guided by insights from educational psychology to ensure that the emotions, reflections, and language truly reach the child.

Moral Sense is a guide for parents to prepare children for real-life moral dilemmas they will inevitably face like, whether to admit a mistake or hide it, whether to stand up for what is right or stay silent. Instead of leaving it to life to teach these lessons the hard way, our stories open gentle, meaningful conversations at home."

Dr. Aishwarya Nair

Chief Consultant, Moral Sense.

PhD (Education Psychology), Pedagogical Counsellor, McGill University, Quebec, Canada.

"As parents, we often teach big lessons like kindness or self-control in the heat of the moment. But real character development happens with intentional, repeated practice, not just in reaction to mistakes.

That’s why Moral Sense goes beyond storytelling. Each book introduces a key virtue through engaging stories and life practices, turning abstract values into real habits.

When children live these values through stories, they don’t just understand them; they embody them. Moral Sense helps you raise resilient, self-aware children, one meaningful story at a time."
