About the Book

Part of being a child is making mistakes—and then feeling frustrated by those mistakes. A kid named Gab is a relatable figure who seems to make a lot of messes in life but still finds comfort in familial love. Children will empathize with this character while also feeling secure in the knowledge that no matter what fumbles or missteps they may make, they will always be forgiven and accepted by their parents—an important message for developing minds and hearts. Let us befriend Gab along with his adventurous characters.
