Athena likes being prepared.
Her schoolbag is packed. Her pencils are sharpened. She likes knowing that she can handle things herself.
But when her important art materials go missing, Athena decides she can fix the problem on her own.
One secret becomes another.
A disappointing grade.
Skipped snacks.
Another bad day.
And still, Athena says nothing.
As the problems grow, Athena begins to discover something important: being responsible does not always mean handling everything alone.
With the quiet example of her parents, the words of a caring teacher, and the kindness of her friend Lyra, Athena finds the courage to tell the truth and ask for help.
The Secret I Kept is a warm illustrated story about honesty, responsibility, trust, courage, and the reassurance of knowing that trusted people can help when something goes wrong.
Because sometimes the bravest words are simply:
I need to tell you something.
Part of The Little Lights Collection, this gentle read-aloud story is created for children ages 4-8 and the parents, caregivers, and teachers who walk beside them.
