About This Book

This book explores consent and respect with children especially in relation to body boundaries, both theirs and others. A child growing up knowing they have a right to their own personal space, gives that child ownership and choices as to what happens to them. These concepts are presented in a child-friendly and easily-understood manner.

Our Review

This thoughtful picture book introduces young children to the essential concepts of personal space and bodily autonomy through clear, relatable scenarios. The narrative gently explores consent and respect, teaching kids that their bodies belong to them and they have choices about physical contact. These important lessons about body boundaries are presented in simple, child-friendly language that makes abstract concepts tangible for young minds. The approach empowers children to understand they have rights to their personal space while also respecting others' boundaries.

What distinguishes this educational book is its focus on giving children ownership of their experiences and decisions, creating a foundation of self-advocacy from an early age. Parents seeking to introduce developmentally appropriate conversations about consent will find this resource particularly valuable for starting meaningful dialogues. The respectful treatment of this sensitive topic makes it an excellent tool for building emotional intelligence and social skills. Children will finish the book with a stronger sense of self and practical understanding of how to navigate physical boundaries with confidence.
