Secrets, Lies and My Sister Kate

Reach for this book when you notice your child picking up on unspoken tension in the house or feeling sidelined by an older sibling's sudden need for privacy. It is an ideal choice for the 'middle childhood' transition where children begin to realize that adults and older siblings have complex lives they aren't always privy to. The story follows Mini as she navigates the shifting behavior of her sister Kate, exploring themes of family loyalty, the weight of secrets, and the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. It is a gentle yet realistic look at how family dynamics evolve as children grow up. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's intuition while modeling healthy ways to seek the truth without compromising family bonds.
