# The One and Only Sparkella and the Big Lie - Hardcover

by **Channing Tatum** (Author), **Kim Barnes** (Illustrator)

**_The One and Only Sparkella and the Big Lie_ continues actor, producer and director Channing Tatum's Sparkella picture book series, a charming ode to self-reliance and the love between father and daughter, illustrated by Kim Barnes.**

Sparkella is excited for her first playdate with the super cool new kid at school, Wyatt. But she's worried that all of her toys and games at home are too old, too homemade, or too _un_\-cool, so she decides to "borrow" a shiny racecar from her best friend, Tam, without asking.

When Tam is upset that her car is missing, Sparkella feels bad, but she can't seem to make herself tell the truth about taking the toy. To make things right with her friend, it'll take a little help from her dad to learn the importance of honesty and taking responsibility when you make a mistake.
