Tugi the Elf and the 12 Golden Bells: The Broken Teacup

A teacup is broken, and Tugi knows what happened. Now he has to decide what to do next.

In The Broken Teacup, Tugi discovers the meaning of Bell 6 — Honesty. He learns that telling the truth can feel uncomfortable, especially when we are worried about disappointing someone, but honesty helps rebuild trust and gives us a chance to make things right.

When Tugi chooses truth over hiding, the sixth golden bell begins to shine. The story offers preschool and early elementary children a gentle, non-shaming way to talk about mistakes, honesty, and taking the next right step.

A cozy Christmas read-aloud with an important emotional lesson, Bell 6 is ideal for family conversations about telling the truth, owning mistakes, and trusting the people who care about us. Bell 6 is part of Tugi’s twelve-story Advent journey and is also included in Tugi the Elf and the 12 Golden Bells — The Complete Advent Collection.
