Little Charley's Big Secrets: A Family Journey, is a ground-breaking, deeply moving, and visually beautiful 32-page children's story-song book for ages 10 and above. The culturally inclusive adventure brings to life two middle school-aged Charley's - one a boy, the other a girl - and their inspiring personal and family trials and transformations. Issues include peer bullying, sadness and isolation, and difficulty concentrating at school, along with family tensions and secrecy. However, the first steps toward help, hope, and healing begin when a sensitive and caring teacher discovers the pain in the children's art, consoles the Charleys, then reaches out to the families. Ironically, the emotional relevance of this inspiring tale is heightened when its powerfully simple poetry is sung to the classic children's tune, "London Bridge Is Falling Down." The narrative encourages both courageous family conversation as well as a teacher, school counselor, or religious adviser leading classroom or group discussion. A three-part series, Little Charley's Big Secrets will inspire young and old alike to: a) be open and adventurous, b) take off secretive masks, c) honestly share and connect, and d) let authenticity and healing-growing energy flow! As a ninth grader said, "This was my story; reading this book, I would know I'm not alone.".
