Reviews
'Share Some Secrets',is an excellent book. I love the way you have written it in rhyme, making the message memorable. It is not easy finding good resources to help with safeguarding issues.
Angela Wimbush -Deputy Headteacher at Wakefield Girls School
Helping to provide everyone with a role in protecting children with advice on how to talk to them about staying safe is something that sits at the very heart of the NSPCC’s mission. Christina’s book, which is available for reference in the NSPCC Library, reinforces this essential behaviour that we so encourage children to learn. We wish Christina all the best with this great resource.
Karen Childs - Head of Knowledge NSPCC
Keeping children safe is one of our highest priorities and Christina’s publication helps to reinforce this

Brill idea for a book
An important book which deals sensitively with a very difficult subject. Brilliantly written and illustrated.
I believe that this book should be in every child setting.
Rhyme makes it special and there is certainly a need for such a book.
This is a great way of getting this important message across to children. We heard you speaking on BBC Sheffield, and think you are doing fantastic work.
Fantastic book about the voice of the child.
A must for all schools and parents
What a superb book to deal with an important child protection message.

My friend suffered in silence for years. Anything that could help get the message across to children on this issue, gets my vote. Good luck.
We are big supporters of the NSPCC and their campaigns. We are very encouraged by this publication that will help to educate and protect our children.
Our children are aged 3 and 18 months. We will certainly have this book in our home library.
Having known people who have been abused, this book could help many children before it's too late.
A brilliant book that absolutely hits the issue of sexual abuse on the head in a way that is not only sensitive to the age of the child reading the book but also in a way that makes the subject less taboo and something that can be talked about openly and without a feeling of shame or guilt.
A must book in our household.
A very important topic. I will be buying this for my niece.
