I Didn't Do It

By Danny Baideme

Angelo is having a normal day in gym class when a hall pass arrives: report to the principal's office. He has no idea why. Then he hears the words no kid wants to hear: "I know you stole a tablet." Angelo's heart pounds. He didn't do it. And he can't prove it. So he does the bravest thing he knows. He stays calm, stays respectful, and says the one sentence his mom taught him: "I am sorry, but you need to call my mom."

In this rhyming picture book from The Little Guiding Light Books, Angelo learns what to do when a grown-up gets it wrong - and what to do when the apology never comes. With bright, playful illustrations and a steady, reassuring rhyme, I Didn't Do It gives children ages 4-8 a calm, respectful script for one of childhood's hardest moments: being blamed for something you didn't do.

A social-emotional learning (SEL) story about honesty, self-control, respect, and speaking up for yourself in a clear, calm voice - perfect for home libraries, classrooms, counselors, and read-alouds.

Themes: honesty - staying calm - self-advocacy - respect - trusted adults - self-control
