Secrets can be confusing for children. Some are good and fun. Some create conflict and hurt. This book is intended to help children discern between the two; how to enjoy the good ones and and what to do about the troublesome ones.

"What inspired me to write the book was a parent who had a child who often cried and said he couldn't tell his father why because he was told he had to keep it a secret. The book was written to help this friend relate to his child and let him know that it was ok to tell the secret that was troubling him."
