Psst! – Good and bad secrets

"A special and important book" (The Child Protection Association)

Frankie suspects why his friend Lars does not admit who gave him the black eye and does everything in his power to uncover this secret and to protect . Felix, too, desperately wants to be let in on his new classmates' secret so he can fit in, but he should have listened to his gut feeling. Fiete Horstkötter and the master detectives protect their secret from the great uncanny. Anna has a great, secret surprise idea in the butterfly house. And Emma's stomach only unravels when she breaks her promise and tells her mom the secret that a classmate is going to be spanked the next day.

In these and other stories and poems, well-known children's book artists tell of secrets that bring joy and those that absolutely must be revealed. Parents, educators, and other caregivers will also find expert tips and food for thought developed jointly by the German Child Protection Association and the publishers. This way, children and adults alike learn how to distinguish good from bad secrets, when to seek help, and where to find it.
