Overview

Ayanna and Natasha are best friends that live next door. Natasha is having a birthday party and invited a science expert to teach her 8-9 year old friends about chemistry and the best way to shoot a rocket into the air. Aaliyah, Natasha's sister has picked the theme of the party and spent weeks selecting the decorations. Her mom, Laila and her cousin Robert are helping her Aaliyah pick up all the stuff that is needed for the party. However, on the day of the party, Aaliyah can't be found and did not come to celebrate the party with her sister. Ayanna decides to help out and look for Aaliyah, but she learns that Robert has hurt Aaliyah and threatens to hurt Natasha if his secret is told to others. Aaliyah Can't Tell Her Secret is a gentle and subtle way to help children learn about sexual assault and is the 2nd book in the Good Mental Health for Kids Series. Children and teens are a vulnerable population that are susceptible to childhood sexual violence. Many children's books teach the concept of Stranger Danger, but RAINN.org states that 93% of children and teens know their abuser and are abused in places that children and teens may consider safe (i.e. home, school, family member's home, etc.). More important, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys experience sexual violence before their 18th birthday. Girls are more likely to be sexually abused, but boys are more likely to keep it secret. For this reason, this book is essential and necessary to help parents and children have fruitful discussions about this sensitive topic. Use this book to teach elementary school children how to trust in each other, the adults around them, and learn to solve problems that deal with mental health.
