Some secrets are meant to be told.
In this thoughtfully crafted picture book, author Wendy Spruill tells the powerful story of a little girl who discovers that keeping unsafe secrets isn't protecting anyone—it's hurting her. Designed specifically for children aged 5 and up, Secrets provides a gentle, age-appropriate foundation for crucial conversations about boundaries, body safety, and finding the courage to speak up.
A Bridge to Hard Conversations
Unlike many children's books that simply distinguish between "good secrets" and "bad secrets," Secrets goes deeper by addressing the most common barrier that prevents children from speaking up: the fear of bringing harm or shame to their family. This compassionate approach gives children both the vocabulary to express their truth and the reassurance that their honesty is an act of courage, not guilt.
Perfect for Parents, Educators, and Caregivers
This picture book about consent serves as an invaluable tool for adults who want to create safe spaces for open dialogue. Secrets doesn't just educate about body safety—it provides a roadmap for healing and empowerment. The story helps children understand that some secrets should never be kept and that speaking their truth is both brave and necessary.
