Secrets that Sparkle (and Secrets that Sting) - Paperback
Description
by Joy Stephenson-Laws (Author), Nzephany Madrigal Uzoka (Illustrator), Tim Scerba (Editor)
Secrets That Sparkle (and Secrets That Sting) is a rhyming, read-aloud picture book that gently empowers young children to tell the difference between "fun secrets" (like surprise parties and hidden cupcakes) and unsafe ones that make them feel scared, confused, or uncomfortable. With playful language, clear contrasts, and emotionally safe storytelling, this book teaches children how to recognize secrets that should never be kept-and how to speak up with courage. Written with 5-year-olds in mind, this book supports conversations around body autonomy, unsafe touch, and emotional trust. Ideal for parents, educators, therapists, and school counselors, it has a fully lyrical narrative and emotionally uplifting tone.
