About This Book
Parents will reach for this book when they want to introduce the vital concepts of personal safety and bodily autonomy in a way that feels supportive rather than frightening. It serves as a gentle bridge into the difficult conversation about the difference between healthy affection and inappropriate touch, providing children with the vocabulary they need to express discomfort and the confidence to set boundaries with adults or peers. Written as a dialogue between two girls returning from vacation, the story highlights contrasting experiences and models the importance of seeking help from a trusted authority figure, such as a teacher. It focuses on the emotional themes of trust, bravery, and self-protection. This book is an essential tool for families who want to empower their children to recognize their 'gut feelings' and understand that their body belongs to them, making it a proactive choice for early safety education.
