Telling someone can help make things better.
Whether you're sad or angry, happy or proud, there's one thing you can do: tell someone. Just talking about your problems can help make them better, and the person you're talking to may have ways to help. When children feel nervous on the first day of school, or experience that scary feeling of having a secret that doesn't feel right, this book empowers kids to find someone they trust--and tell them.
