Suzy Has a Secret by S. Jackson with A. Raymond is a children's story about educating them on self awareness and inappropriate behavior. The story is simple and easy to read to children. It's important to allow children the opportunity to learn what should and should not be done to them by family members. Suzy did not like the game of tickling that Uncle Bob played with her when her parents weren't around. Suzy did not want to keep the secret from her parents, but Uncle Bob made her feel that she couldn't tell anyone about the way he touched her. Although the story is short, it has a powerful message because all children should know the importance of not allowing anyone, young or old, to touch their bodies.

Children have a right to be happy and understand what should not be happening when Mommy and Daddy aren't around. The portion of the story designed for Parents and Educators was a good read because it reaffirmed that children have the right to know that their private areas are off limits, and that when playing no one should ever touch those areas. When dealing with children, it's important to ensure they understand at an early age that they can talk to their parents about anything and not be scared. Abusers use manipulation when abusing children to keep them from telling their parents, that's why parents need to have a strong bond with their children to make them feel comfortable. One thing I learned is that you should not ask a lot of questions if you suspect abuse, but rather ask simple questions for the best and most reliable answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars So many bad things are happening to them and people tell them ...

This book is something parents should have around for their young children to read. In today's world, so many bad things are happening to them and people tell them to not tell the "secret". This book helps to show that it's ok to tell and that nothing bad will happen if they do.

Suzy has a Secret handles a difficult subject – inappropriate touching – well. Abused children are often told to keep it a secret. This book explains that it's not okay for anyone to touch in a way that makes someone feel uncomfortable. It also explains that it's okay to tell the secret and that the secret isn't one that should be kept. There is also a section in the back for parents and educators that can help with dealing with this sensitive issue.

Suzy has a Secret is an excellent resource for creating an awareness of and addressing a difficult subject matter.
