The Secret Keeper

Brandon Rabbit has a surprise for Austin Turtle, and Callen Crow wants to keep it safe. When a tiny chick wanders near danger, Callen uses the Secret Sort 3 to learn that surprises can wait—but safety is always a tell.

Brandon Rabbit has a surprise for Austin Turtle, and Callen Crow is trying very hard to keep it secret. But when a tiny chick wanders toward danger, Callen must learn the difference between a fun surprise secret and a safety tell. With The Secret Sort 3, Callen and Brandon discover that trust means keeping surprises short and telling safety right away. As they sort surprise from safety, the story gently helps children learn when quiet keeping is kind and when speaking up is the safest choice. This warm read-aloud gently explores trust, self-control, friendship, wise choices, and how getting help can be brave and caring.
