SynopsisEstablishing boundaries for youngsters, this title teaches kids that when it comes to their body, there are some parts that are for 'no one else to see' and empowers them to tell a parent or teacher if someone touches them inappropriately., Speaking to children on their own terms, this critically acclaimed book sensitively establishes boundaries for youngsters. In a non-threatening, engaging manner, this guide teaches kids that when it comes to their body, there are some parts that are for no one else to see and empowers them to tell a parent or teacher if someone touches them inappropriately. Telling the story of a gender-neutral child who is inappropriately touched by an uncle's friend, this tale delivers a powerful moral when the youngster reveals the offender and the parents praise the child's bravery. Most importantly, this narrative assures young ones that sexual molestation is not their fault, and by speaking out, the child will continue to grow big and strong. A Suggestions for the Storyteller section is also included to assist in facilitating a comfortable discussion afterwards, thereby helping to prevent the unthinkable from happening to any child. With inspirational rhyming and beautiful illustrations, this is a compelling and uplifting message of what is right and wrong.
