My Secret by Kerry Gibb
This is a story about a kid who has started a new school and is finding the change a challenge.
It explores themes of: friendships, kindness, inclusion, change, loneliness, self reflection and more.
Introduction:
I’ve got a secret to tell you. But you must promise not to tell anyone else, as that’s what friends do with a secret. I hope you’re my friend anyway. You’re interested in my story so that’s a start, I guess. Hopefully by the end you’ll see that I could be your friend.
It’s hard to say it out loud so I’m writing it down instead, as that helps. It always helps to write my thoughts and feelings down when no one else will listen.
So here it goes, my secret is that I’m really an alien from a planet far, far away. A planet where three separate moons glow at night and where purple rain falls from the clouds.
Just kidding! Of course I’m not an alien… I got your attention though, didn’t I?
