Sometimes the easiest way to start a big conversation is to start with a story. These animated clips follow the book page by page, creating a calm, age-appropriate way for children to understand safe vs. unsafe secrets — and to practice using their voice.
Watch together, take your time, and let the story open the door.
Short videos for big moments.
What Makes a Secret Sparkle?
Join us for the first four pages of Secrets That Sparkle! In this video, children learn that some secrets are like gifts in a box—sweet, exciting, and full of giggles. From surprise birthday cards to bubbles that bounce, we explore the happy "sparkle" secrets that are meant to be shared with joy.
Understanding the "Squiggly" Feelings
Not every secret feels like a celebration. In Part 2 (pages 5-11), we discuss the secrets that feel heavy, like "stones in a pile" or a "sock in your shoe." This video helps children identify those uncomfortable feelings and empowers them to speak up to a trusted grown-up when a secret doesn't feel happy or fair.
The Bravery of Speaking Up
When a secret makes your tummy feel twisty or "yuck," you don't have to carry it alone. In Part 3 (pages 12-16), we learn that telling is brave. This video empowers children to find their safe grown-ups—from teachers to grandparents—who are ready to listen with care. We show little ones that speaking up opens the door to comfort and joy, reminding them that they are never to blame.
Secrets We Never Keep
Not every secret is safe, especially if someone tries to make you feel small or tells you to "be quiet." In Part 4 (pages 16-20), we tackle the vital topic of boundaries and speaking up. This video teaches children that if words or a touch ever feel wrong or unclear, that is never a secret to bury down deep. We reinforce the message that no matter who asks them to keep it—even someone they hold dear—they must tell a safe grown-up because their voice will always be heard.
