The Trouble with Secrets aims to help children understand which secrets should be shared with an adult and which can be kept. This book teaches that while it can be fun to keep exciting surprises, any secrets that cause children anxiety or worry should be shared right away—even if they've been told to keep silent.

This is a useful tool for sexual abuse prevention.
