Parent & Educator Quiz

Assessment: Are You Prepared to Protect Your Child?

For Classrooms, Counselors & Educators

Secrets That Sparkle is designed to help children ages 5+ understand the difference between safe secrets and unsafe secrets in a gentle, age-appropriate way. Through rhyme, soft watercolor illustrations, and clear emotional cues, the story supports conversations around trust, body autonomy, speaking up, and knowing when to seek help from a trusted adult.

Its calm, reassuring tone makes it a thoughtful resource for parents, educators, counselors, and child-centered professionals introducing difficult topics with care.

If you’re interested in using Secrets That Sparkle in a classroom, counseling practice, school library, or child-focused program, please reach out for educator resources, bulk order information, or partnership inquiries.
