Unveiling the Story

Three diverse girls claim that each separately have created a wonderful mural on a wall.  It is colourful and beautiful and each take credit for the masterpiece.  A loud stern voice interrupts their feud and demands "WHO PAINTED THIS WALL?!  Shocked and scared each girl denies they had any part in it and start pointing and blaming each other for the mural.  

The voice intensifies and gets agitated...  "Tell me the truth WHO did this?"  Oh my, the girls are in big trouble now and again reiterate that each didn't do it.  

Who was the mastermind that created the mural if not the girls?  What is the voice's motive for getting to the crux of the matter?  Reprimand? or Praise for a job well done?  You will have to read the story to find out the truth, the whole truth, regarding the genesis of this work of art. 

The illustrations are colourful, whimsical and full of expression.  The book is a perfect conversation starter about being truthful and honest and not trying to shift blame onto someone else.  I like it a lot.  I think kids ( and adults ) can learn a valuable life lesson from the story.
