The Little Promise Keeper

One bright Tuesday morning, Oliver wakes to find colorful ribbons floating in the air, linking the people of his village. Some shine like sunshine, while others look faint and grey. His grandmother Ruth explains that these ribbons are promises, bright when kept and faded when forgotten. Oliver understands he has been given a gift he can use to help others.

With his best friend Mira beside him, Oliver sets out to mend the fading ribbons around them. He visits Mr. Penn, the baker, whose ribbon has dimmed because he has been too busy to visit his brother, and he gently reminds Mira about the promise she made to feed the chickens. This gentle tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN explores honesty and responsibility, showing young readers that forgotten promises can be repaired through kindness and open conversation.
