This isn’t a complicated book, but it’s very well-done.
There are lots of parts in the book that allow you to stop and talk with your child about possibilities. This is a book written from a child’s point of view (based on a true experience) about privacy and how to deal with inappropriate or uncomfortable interactions with other children or adults. I Said No by Kimberly King and Zack King, illustrated by Sue Rama It’s a perfect way to open the door about this topic in a non-scary way. This picture book is a very basic introduction to bodily autonomy with repeated phrases to say when someone wants to hug or kiss or touch you when you don’t want them to. Your Body Belongs to You by Cornelia Maude Spelman, illustrated by Teri Wiedner At the end, they high-five instead! It’s a great way to talk about asking permission before touching someone and also a simple way to discuss alternatives to hugging.
Some of her friends are enthusiastic but Sheep prefers not to hug. This cute board book shows Ladybug preparing to leave on a trip and she wants to hug her friends goodbye. Of course, every family is going to have a different level of comfort and different feelings on these topics, so I always suggest that you read these books first so you’re ready for the kinds of questions that might come up after reading them! If you’re looking for ways to talk about these important topics with your children, these books are a great place to start to open the conversation and help your child feel empowered to deal with tricky situations. A list of books about bodily autonomy, privacy, and consent for young children has been asked for approximately a million times.įinally this spring, I asked for suggestions on Instagram (you can see all the suggestions here) and started reading as many books from the library on these topics as I could.
