Our Review

This thoughtful picture book provides parents with gentle language to discuss body safety with young children, framing the conversation through the affirming message that God created every part of our bodies. The narrative helps children understand that their bodies are good and belong to them, while introducing the crucial concept of distinguishing between appropriate and inappropriate touch. Through its simple, direct storytelling, it gives families the foundational vocabulary needed for these important discussions about personal boundaries and body awareness from a faith-based perspective.

What makes this children's book particularly valuable is its ability to address a difficult topic with both clarity and warmth, making it accessible for preschoolers while remaining relevant through the early elementary years. The approach is both protective and positive, emphasizing that bodies are wonderfully made while teaching children they have the right to speak up about touches that make them uncomfortable. Parents seeking faith-based resources for teaching body safety will find this an indispensable tool for starting ongoing conversations that help keep children safe.
