A picture book about secrets, mistakes, worry, honesty, and the adults who help children feel safe enough to tell the truth.
The story
A little boy is left carrying something that feels too difficult to say. A moose moves into his attic—and with every passing moment, it grows bigger, heavier, and harder to hide.
Until the secret feels too big to carry alone.
Inside the book
The moose makes an invisible feeling visible, giving children and adults a shared image for talking about what happens when a secret grows.
For grown-ups
The back matter explores why secrets get stuck in the attic, how worry grows around them, and how adults can make truth-telling feel safer.
