This story relates to child molestation, written as a fairy-tale, about an abused princess named Chrystal. Intended to aid abused children realize that their secrets NEED to be told, it instructs how this can be done without fear of repercussion. Also, while raising awareness about sexual predators to all young girls & boys, the plot describes how: 1) they CAN and MUST seek immediate help, should they become victims, 2) there is no shame in telling, 3) the lies and threats told to them by their predators are not true, and 4) they are not alone in their experience. Written in the style of Dr. Seuss (with rhyme) with attractive color illustrations, this is a fascinating story that children will want to hear repeatedly. A "Good Touch/Bad Touch" guide follows, at the end of the book. Due to the targeted age range, the story does not contain language or situations that explicitly describe acts of a sexual nature. Ideal for pre-school & elementary school children as a read-aloud classroom or bed-time story.
