Some stories are meant to be found.
In different places, children discover mysterious journals, each with the same lighthouse drawn on the cover and words that feel strangely familiar. Although they have never met, each child feels an unexpected connection to the journal they found and soon realizes they are not the only one.
As more clues begin to appear, the children set out on an unforgettable adventure to uncover the truth behind the journals and the person who left them behind. Along the way, they discover that family is more than distance, every story has meaning, and sometimes the answers we are searching for have been waiting for us all along.
The Secret Book of Us is a heartwarming children's book filled with mystery, adventure, friendship, and hope. Beautifully illustrated, it encourages meaningful conversations about family and belonging, identity and self-discovery, kindness and empathy, courage and resilience, and the power of stories to bring people together.
Perfect for readers ages 7 to 11, as well as families, classrooms, school counselors, and libraries, The Secret Book of Us reminds readers that every child has a story worth telling, every family is unique, and sometimes the greatest discoveries are the ones that help us better understand ourselves and one another.
Because every story matters... and sometimes the journey to finding the truth is really a journey to finding where you belong.
