Share Some Secrets
Share Some Secrets is a picture, rhyming, audio and paperback book (age 5-8) addressing the difference between good and troublesome secrets. Share Some Secrets is a book that encourages children to think about the secrets they should and shouldn’t keep, encouraging them to speak out without fear by giving praise.
We teach our children to look out when crossing the road and we teach them to swim to keep them safe in the water. We should be educating our children about not keeping secrets that would be better shared and give them the confidence to speak out. We don’t want children to harbour secrets that will have a detrimental effect on the rest of their lives.
