Aurie has a big house, loving parents, and one very special friend. So why does she feel so alone? At school, every day something happens. A name that hurts. A game she cannot join. A grown-up who is too busy to listen. Aurie keeps the hurtful words in her little green diary and saves her stories for the only friend who always stays. She tries bringing sweets. She tries being quiet. She tries to tell Mum. But finding the words is harder than she thought. When someone finally sits beside her and listens, Aurie begins to share what has been happening-and a secret she has kept all along. Aurie Has a Secret is an illustrated story for children aged 5-10 about loneliness, bullying, and asking for help. With a surprise waiting at the end, it gently reminds young readers that their feelings matter, they deserve kindness, and they can keep telling until someone listens.
