Do you have a secret? by Jennifer Moore-Mallinos

Why I recommend this book

Do You Have a Secret? by Jennifer Moore-Mallinos is an important and empowering book that helps children understand the difference between good and bad secrets. Through gentle storytelling, it teaches that while some secrets (like surprise parties) can be fun, others can make them feel uncomfortable - and those should always be shared with a trusted adult. With a reassuring and age-appropriate approach, this book encourages open communication and helps children feel safe speaking up.
