This beautifully written and illustrated story for children gets right to the point. Inappropriate touching should never be a secret. Using a child's voice, the story takes us through the emotions of a child who has a secret; sadness, fear, anger, empowerment, and resolution. "When somebody hurst you, you have to tell." The Monster in My Room is a wonderful tool for parents and educators to help children understand and deal with the idea and reality of inappropriate touching.
