Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept by Jayneen Sanders is a beautifully illustrated children’s picture book that sensitively broaches the subject of keeping children safe from inappropriate touch.
 
We teach water and road safety, but how do we teach Body Safety to young children in a way that is neither frightening nor confronting?
 
This book is an invaluable tool for parents, caregivers, teachers and healthcare professionals to broach the subject of safe and unsafe touch in a non-threatening and age-appropriate way. The comprehensive notes to the reader and discussion questions at the back of the book support both the reader and the child when discussing the story.
 
Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept was written as a a fable with an important message, i.e. if a child is ever touched inappropriately they need to tell a trusted adult and keep on telling until they are believed.
