A worry can be shared. A listening grown-up can make a difference.Eight-year-old Emma loves playing games on her tablet. When a friendly online player begins asking personal questions and tells her to keep their messages secret, something does not feel right.With encouragement from her friend Shona and kindness from Granddad, Emma discovers that she can ask for help, even after she has replied or shared information.Tell Somebody: Emma and the Messages is a gentle, illustrated story for children aged 3 to 10 to read together with a safe adult. It opens conversations about online friendships, private information, worrying secrets and speaking up, without blaming children for someone else’s harmful behaviour.The book includes:• Colourful illustrations and large, clear story text.• Conversation prompts about messages, boundaries and asking for help.• Creative activities to help children identify safe grown-ups.• Simple phrases children can use when something worries them.• Guidance for parents, carers and educators on listening and responding.• UK and international child protection contacts.Younger children can explore the pictures and practise the simple message: 'If something worries you, tell a safe grown-up.' Older children can discuss the story in greater depth, supported by an adult.At its heart is a reassuring reminder: you deserve help, you are not to blame, and you do not have to carry a worry alone.Melony Axe’s books are rooted in her own lived experiences and true situations she has witnessed within her family, NHS and private hospitals, and the communities where she has worked.Drawing on 30 years of experience as a mental health clinician, safeguarding and community advocate, Melony brings together personal insight and professional understanding. Her work with children, adults and families informs her writing, with a clear purpose: helping people recognise concerns, feel heard, speak up and find appropriate support.
