When Freddy B. and Ezzie arrive tussling and tattling in their father's quiet study, he decides to lead them on an imaginary journey through the landscape
of forgiveness. Together they see what it's like to forgive, and discover that forgiveness can feel good to the forgiver, perhaps even more than the forgiven.
In a Note to Parents, author and psychologist Robert Enright, Ph.D., defines forgiveness, differentiates it from reconciliation, and guides parents
in helping their children learn how and why to forgive.
