Dear Friends, My apologies for steering you wrong. When I got back to my library I found the book I have titled Sorry was not the one that Marga Hirsch mentioned. My book is by Sue Riley. It is a small book in a series about feelings that was published in 1970. Each page has an example of a what a little child might feel sorry about. The book that Marga talked about by Jean Van Leeuwen is also called Sorry but it is quite different. Below is the summary I found on <http://Abebooks.com>Abebooks.com
Ebenezer and Obadiah are brothers on a New England farm, sharing the work to plow the fields and milk the cows. But in this tale for readers up to 8, an argument starts one day. Obadiah criticizes his brother's oatmeal, and Ebenezer upends the bowl on his head. Neither will say he's sorry, and the brothers end up splitting the house and living on separate hilltops. Each marries and prospers, but they never speak again. It isn't until two cousins meet—Ebenezer and Obadiah's great-grandsons—that someone finally says "sorry," and the split is mended. Illustrator Brad Sneed depicts the hardheaded brothers in detailed watercolors with exaggerated attitudes. Hope this clears up my misunderstanding. Wishing you all a sweet New Year.
