Fantastic book and author.

Excellent book. Promoting the voice of the child. Great self read book for children encouraging children to talk about their worries and people that make them feel unsafe. So important. Good to read with your child and teachers to read with a class. We must encourage them to talk about their worries. I deliver child protection training and promote this in the training as a good resource. Highly recommend this. UK based and have been a supporter and fan for many years. I had the pleasure of meeting Christina in 2016 and she is a passionate author with a massive heart.

Only highlights the secret of sexual abuse.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2020

Very specifically about sexual abuse. I thought it would be around secrets in general, with some examples of what secrets to keep and what secrets to tell.
This book is about a surprise birthday party for Granny and a child that doesn’t feel comfortable telling her parents about the sexual abuse taking place when she sees Uncle Billy. Good book if this is the specific topic you need to be discussed.

Important educational message delivered well

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2021

I am glad to be able to review and share my opinion on such an important topic handled with great kindness and sensitivity. The message of Share Some Secrets is implied through picture rhyming audio and in paperback (for ages around 5 – 8 year old.) The emphasis is on praise – encouraging the child to come forward and share their secret and not to be afraid to do so.

The publication has been endorsed by the NSPCC and Barnardo’s.

In the story Milly is finding is hard to say what her secret is but with the help of her kind brother Billy she manages to get the help she needs.

The illustrations by Ric Lumb accompanying the text enhance the message well. Making it easy for young children to understand how important it is to speak out – even if that secret is embarrassing or distressing – or involves a person in a position of trust, such as a family member.

The story ends on a happy note and there is a short but all important reminder at the end about how important it is to share your secret.

This should be used as a teaching aid in all schools so that children can understand that is okay to speak out and to get help.

My recommendation: Highly recommended. 5 stars

Thank you to the author Christina Gabbitas for gifting me a copy. I happily give my unbiased and considered review.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2017

So important to reach children in a friendly but helpful way--teaching then but not frightening or alarming them. This book does that and I'd recommend it to parents and teachers.
