We often think about consent in a sexual context, but it actually lies at the heart of our daily life - in interactions with family and friends, and in the respect and empathy we show ourselves and others!
From the bestselling author of The Every Body Book, this lovingly illustrated guide introduces consent in all its many forms - in a way that is inclusive of orientation, neurodiversity, gender identity, faith and ethnicity.
Delving into issues of body safety, verbal and nonverbal cues, boundaries, puberty and privacy, the correct terminology for body parts, developing a safe adult support system, and recognizing gut feelings - this will help children build confidence and shame-free knowledge. It will also offer ideas around consent nuances, like power dynamics, intellectual disabilities, pornography, sexism, and transphobia.
With a glossary and further discussion questions - this is the perfect book for young people and their families to explore together.

      Starred review from August 1, 2024
      Grades 3-6 *Starred Review* This British import comes from a clinical psychotherapist and offers straightforward advice and strategies to help kids develop agency over their own bodies. A couple of introductory pages for grown-ups are followed by accessible language explaining how everyone has the right to feel safe in their own personal space. The text and illustrations define personal body areas, beginning with elementary school age-appropriate examples: tickling, tussling, hugging, kissing. Readers are reassured that, unlike babies, older children have voices and are allowed to use them. Subsequent chapters ease into sexual contact. An especially effective series of illustrations show slightly older cartoon kids facing each other and modeling realistic exchanges. When asked, ""Can I kiss you?"" various responses (""Um . . . I don't know; I want to, but I can't . . ."" ) are definitively interpreted as ""No!"" responses. Another series offers ways to keep communication open: ""I don't feel ready to kiss, but can I hug you?"" Additional topics include keeping secrets, asking for help, and being an upstander, plus brief considerations of verbal insults and visual taunts (unsolicited exposure to pornography). A final chapter offers online resources and a glossary. Both families and independent readers will appreciate this diverse, inclusive, no-nonsense guide.
