About this title

Review

"Hamish and the Shadow Secret" is one of those books that changes the way we think about the harms of pornography on children. Succinct, beautifully written, and compelling in its storytelling, Hamish is a book that every parent and caregiver should read to their kids as a way to build resilience to the toxic porn culture that has infiltrated the lives of kids across the world. The authors have given parents, and caregiver everywhere, a profound gift! ~ Dr. Gail Dines, President & CEO, Culture Reframed

“Hamish and the Shadow Secret” is an effort to open parents’ eyes to what may befall their children in the online world. This taboo topic has become so prevalent that it should be looked at as an epidemic that needs our urgent attention. Child-on-child sexual abuse, exploitation and human trafficking are on the rise, yet people are still silent or unaware of how pornography contributes to this increase. I congratulate my dear friend and colleague, Liz Walker, in the fight against the harms of pornography; and thank Don Truss for joining her to create this educational gem to protect our young loved ones. ~ Wael Ibrahim, Author of Bet it! 50 Plus Shades of Hope and Co-Founder of the Aware Academy.

I can't recommend 'Hamish and the Shadow Secret' enough. I read this book with my daughter who is ten and my stepson who is nine – neither have seen pornography. The kids were able to relate really well to Hamish and the illustrations help bring the story to life. As we read about his journey, it helped all of us to be able to understand and name the emotions and physical sensations that children may experience when they are exposed to pornography at a young age, making it a perfect resource for 8 - 12 year old’s. ~ Zareen Sheikh-Cope, Founder & Producer Hazardous Journey Productions
