"When you are sad or have been hurt, you shouldn't be asked to keep that a secret." Not all secrets are harmful. But some are. In RUNE SHARES A SECRET, Rune, our little hero, learns that sometimes adults ask you to keep secrets you shouldn't keep. Sometimes, you feel like those secrets and the reason they exist can make you feel very badly. Rune learns to trust the instincts that say, "Hey, this doesn't feel right." Rune learns assertiveness. Rune learns to speak up. Rune will confront some internal struggles with bravery, self-compassion, and self-empowerment. Rune will learn to talk about things that can be difficult, but are worthwhile to discuss. Ultimately, Rune will learn to listen to the little voice inside no matter how someone else tries to quiet it. Through Rune's story, your child will learn to think for themselves, compassion, empathy, and to trust that when something happens and they are not fond of it, it's okay to say so. Your child will learn that even if they are afraid, they can and should speak up.
