Testimonials

This book is fantastic and highly recommended reading for children. I have recommended to all my friends with young children (3+) around body safety and consent and have suggested it to my daughter's daycare as well.

Excellent. When my daughter was four we had to read it in a couple sittings. This time at five was a refresher in one sitting. I like that the author includes the mouth as a private part, meaning "just for me," so that kids might recognize an abuse before it happens (she doesn't say this outright). I also like teaching kids to pay attention to their bodies' signs of being uncomfortable. So many other great things in this book and none inappropriate or too early for young kids. Worth owning."

"This is a great book to begin to teach young children about body safety. I love that it includes secrets vs. surprises, and emphasizes the importance of correct terminology for private parts. There’s also a helpful section with discussion questions for parents."
