A Bag of Secrets

What if reading one children's story could reveal child abuse? A Bag of Secrets is written for parents, grandparents, teachers, relatives and concerned friends who want to protect the innocence of our children. It is about how other people’s actions can force children to carry a heavy bag of unwanted secrets with them their whole lives. Secrets that weigh down their hearts and steal their joy and happiness. It is meant as a tool that can open the floodgates of discussion and honesty, and hopefully aid in their healing. It is meant for you to read it to a child one on one, not just given to them to read, or to read in a group setting. You will need to be ready to ask the necessary questions at the end of this story and then listen carefully to their answers. They will need to feel safe, trusted and believed in if they are to share any unwanted secrets. You will also need to be ready to help navigate the waters of healing for them as you help reveal and return those unwanted secrets to their owners.
