Description
A clever, funny picture book about one of life's most important skills: the art of saying sorry.
Sammy is in trouble. He's stuck in his room (on his mum's birthday!) writing sorry letters for things he shouldn't have done. But what exactly has Sammy done?
Told entirely through Sammy's letters, this inventive and laugh-out-loud story gradually reveals the chaos behind his well-meaning plan. As one apology letter leads to another, the story of Sammy's robot-related adventure unfolds . . .
But the big question is will Sammy make it out of his room in time to celebrate his mum's birthday? And what's going on with all the robots?
A fresh take on one of life's essential lessons, Sorry, Sammy combines laugh-out-loud humour with a heartfelt message about making things right.
