Joseph's Secret by Mrs Cecibel Alexandra Contreras (Paperback / softback, 2016)

The book is aimed for both genders but it directly speaks to boys. I think it's very important to teach boys about sexual abuse. Sexual abuse harms boys and girls in ways that are similar and different, but equally harmful. This crime is usually done from a position of authority ( coach, teacher, religious or family member). It is important to remember that that 1 in 4 and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before age 18. Joseph is a happy boy but his life suddenly turns around when he endures abuse. Will Joseph tell anyone his secret? Will he be able to overcome and live his dreams? Read this book about courage and reaching out for help when someone hurts you.
