Overview
Newbery Honor-winner Kyle Lukoff explores the importance of learning to apologize. Jack wants to apologize for hurting Zoe's feelings. He just can't seem to find the right words. Turns out there's more to an apology than just saying ""I'm sorry."" Elevated by equally charming illustrations and text, I'm Sorry You Got Mad is a journey in learning the importance of an apology that goes deeper than just words.

Reviews
Praise for I'm Sorry You Got Mad ★ “In this witty epistolary classroom drama… Lukoff writes a sparkling examination of messy feelings and meaningful apologies.” –PW, starred review ★ “A master class in apologies and in storytelling through words and art.” –Kirkus, starred review ★ “Smartly told, the sole text is that written on Jack’s often crumpled letters… The artwork adds layers to the story, showing readers what occurs while the letters are being composed… Lukoff models good behavior for kids (and, let’s face it, adults)without being lecturing or preachy. A must-have.” –SLJ, starred review ★ “Lukoff brings an enormous sense of compassion to a lesson that even adults can struggle with… Soft hues and gentle textures bring balance to the busy school goings-on, and Jack’s various moods are deftly conveyed as he trails at the edges of pages, angry, lonely, contemplative, until he makes amends to Zoe and builds a castle with her.” –BCCB, starred review
