About the book
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.
Christina visited Marlow Church of England School via Authors For Grenfell. Christina auctioned herself through the website to help raise funds for the families of the Grenfell Tower Tragedy. Christina said 'After witnessing individuals loosing their lives on live television, I felt helpless and very sad for those who were affected and was the least I could do."
Helping to provide parents, carers, teachers and everyone with a role in protecting children with advice on how to talk to them about staying safe is something that sits at the very heart of the NSPCC’s mission. This advice includes encouraging children to share secrets that worry them with a trusted adult. It’s something we have really pushed as part of our Underwear Rule campaign that aims to keep children safe.
Christina’s book, which is available for reference in the NSPCC library, reinforces this essential behaviour that we so encourage children to learn. We wish Christina all the best with this great resource.
Keeping children safe is one of our highest priorities and Christina’s publication helps to reinforce this.
Share Some Secrets is an excellent book and I am sure it will help children understand which secrets they should and shouldn’t keep. I love the way you have written it in rhyme too making the message memorable. It is not easy finding good resources to help with safeguarding issues.
Great rhyming story highlighting a sad topic in a very effective way. The story highlights the challenges and difficulties children face when disclosing abuse to members of their family. The uncle is seen as the trusted person and welcomed in the home by the family, but clearly Milly’s behaviour changes when he is around. Demonstrates the grooming model. A good book for parents and teachers to read with their children and promotes the rights of the child. I use this book when I deliver child protection training to schools. The author has a great website with relevant resources to encourage discussion with children. I strongly recommend this book to both schools and families.
Great multi-cultural book with lovely, bold colours and illustrations. My seven year old daughter liked the rhyming of the story and the strong message in the book. This book should be read to every child by their parent or carer. Decent price and story was not too long. A lovely, user-friendly book.
I enjoyed the book. You should never feel alone and always have someone you can trust that will listen to you. We shouldn’t feel uncomfortable and not able to tell. Some secrets are OK to be kept but ones that make you feel sad shouldn’t be kept and told to someone.
You should trust people and not be scared of anyone. If you are, tell your teacher or parent.
Keeping children safe in our community.
As parents, carers and professionals we have a duty of care to ensure we keep children safe.
Share Some Secrets is a great story about a little girl who was brave enough to tell her brother, who encouraged her to tell her teacher. The voice of the child is powerful and we need to give children confidence in self-expression and self-reporting. When children feel safe and listened to they are more likely to, open up and talk.
