Overview

Akae, Beka and Chad are next door neighbors and great friends. But Chad has a secret that stops him from playing with his friends, his toys, and going outside. Each time he returns from soccer practice, he is distant, sad, and quiet. His coach may know more about Chad's changing moods because he often drops him home after practice, but Chad refuses to talk about his coach. His best friend Akae, and his sister Beka want to help Chad but it is hard to talk to him. Chad Has A Secret explores the different steps Akae and Beka use to convince Chad to expose his secret. It is a gentle and subtle way to help children learn about childhood sexual abuse and is the 1st book in the Good Mental Health for Kids Series. Children and teens are a vulnerable population that are susceptible to childhood sexual abuse. 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.
