A story of hope for carrying burdens that were never theirs

If you’re reading this, it means someone wanted this book to reach your school or organisation. A child or young person donated this book because they believe every child deserves to know some burdens are not theirs to carry.

This Is Not Yours to Carry is a book for a new generation of cycle breakers, following Tai and children like him as they navigate growing up around violence and hurt.

The book was written by Matt Brown and Sarah Brown, inspired by Matt’s own childhood experiences. Today, they share Tai’s story so that every young person who needs it knows: what happens around you is not your fault. You are not alone. And healing is possible.
