A parent would reach for this book when their toddler has successfully transitioned out of diapers and is starting to navigate more public or social environments like preschool or playgroups. It serves as the logical next step in development, moving from physical mastery of the bathroom to the social and safety concepts of bodily autonomy. The book explains that just as we learn where to go potty, we also learn who is allowed to see or touch our private parts. By framing body safety as a natural graduation from potty training, the book reduces anxiety and keeps the conversation light and empowering. It focuses on building self-confidence and trust rather than fear. It is perfectly suited for children ages 2 to 5 who are becoming big kids and need a simple, respectful vocabulary for their bodies and their boundaries.
