Wonderful tool!,
This review is from: The Color of Secrets (Paperback)
The Color of Secrets is an avenue for parents and grandparents to communicate this vital, yet often uncomfortable subject - all while reading a delightful story with beatiful illistrations! It has the ability to empower children with the knowledge of what's appropriate and what's not regarding their bodies.

The Color of Secrets,
This review is from: The Color of Secrets (Paperback)
As a grandmother I shared this book with my two year old grandchild and was surprised at how well she understood the message. The use of color to describe good and bad feelings is a brilliant approach to instructing children of all ages. [...] This book belongs wherever children live and learn. Shelby Gengo

A Children's Book For All Ages...,
By teresa (chicago, il usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Color of Secrets (Paperback)
The first thing that you'll notice about The Color Of Secrets are the vibrant and striking illustrations by Donovan Foote, and then you'll realize the importance of what is written inside. Kim Steward has written a book that has the power to encourage children to talk about the terrible things that they may suffer through, as well as encourage adults to address these issues with the children in their lives. It is a topic that has been ignored for far too long in our schools and our homes, and the best way to help children with this problem is to teach them how to recognize abuse, how to learn that they do not ever deserve abuse, and how to feel okay about finding help dealing with it-- not embarrassed or further alienated from society. Buy this book and share it with the people in your life, both young and old.
