What’s Inside the Books?Part 1: I Own My Mistakes and I Say Sorry
This book introduces Pollo, a lovable young boy, and his friend Lola, who teaches him a life-changing lesson: It’s okay to make mistakes. Through a heartfelt story involving soccer, friendship, and Pollo’s loyal toy Theodoro the Alpaca, children learn:
Courage: How to own up to their mistakes without fear.
Patience: How to be kind to themselves and others when things don’t go as planned.
Responsibility: Why saying “sorry” is the first step toward growth.
For parents, this book is a gentle reminder that mistakes are a natural part of learning—not something to fear or punish. It’s especially meaningful for trauma survivors parenting from a difficult childhood, as it models a compassionate approach to mistakes that you may not have experienced yourself.
Part 2: Teaching Compassion, Self-Forgiveness, and Strengthening Bonds
In the second book, Pollo meets a new friend, Marto, and begins to reflect on why people react differently to mistakes. Inspired by Lola’s gentle and accepting approach, Pollo learns to respond to Marto’s mistakes with the same kindness.
But Pollo also notices something deeper: Why is his dad so harsh when he makes mistakes, while his friends are so understanding? This curiosity leads Pollo on a journey to:
Understand how to respond well to mistakes with compassion and patience.
Realize that mistakes don’t define his worth—they’re opportunities to grow.
Gain a new perspective on his dad’s behavior, helping them strengthen their bond by compassion and Forgiveness
