Because It's My Body! Keep 'Em Safe Series order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 45.00 each
Hardback
Author: Joanne Sherman
In Stock: 0
Focusing on empowerment and prevention, this approachable book gives young children a way to reject unwanted, possibly harmful physical contact by adults and other kids.

Its nonconfrontational tone relays the importance of saying no without veering into descriptions of molestation--teaching children without scaring them. Diverse illustrations allow young readers to identify with the characters in the book and, without focusing on sexuality, the scenarios show children how to start the process of defining physical boundaries by teaching them that their entire body belongs to them. By giving them the tools to stand up for themselves, parents and educators can set kids on a path to protecting themselves from unwanted touching and abuse.

"This book empowers children by establishing an effective phrase for 'saying no' to unwanted advances."-—School Library Journal

Hair in Funny Places order quantity

NZ$ 20.00 each
Paperback
Author: Babette Cole
In Stock: 0
Girls and Boys are always curious and even sometimes alarmed by the behaviour of their bodies as they grow up. Puberty being a particularly unsettling time, Babette Cole has made this the subject of the fifth title in her bestselling series of family dilemmas. Who else but Babette would have the temerity to tackle this subject in a picture book and the genius to carry it off!

In Hair in Funny Places her artwork is without exaggeration some of the best she has ever done - it is brilliant. The text, which takes the form of a conversation between a small girl and her teddy bear, is ingenious and funny - it is the behaviour of Mr and Mrs Hormone (wonderfully depicted) which is responsible for and plays havoc with both physical and emotional states of girls and boys between (roughly) the ages of eight and eighteen.

This book is bound to be controversial but Babette has never taken the conventional path and her readers love ... more

The Right Touch : A Read Aloud Story to Help Prevent Child Sexual Abuse order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 36.00 each
Hardback
Author: Sandy Kleven
In Stock: 0
The Right Touch reaches far beyond the usual scope of a children's picture book. It is a parenting book that introduces a very difficult topic — the sexual abuse of young children. This gentle, thoughtful story is meant to be read aloud by a trusted caregiver.

In the story, young Jimmy's mom explains the difference between touches that are positive and touches that are secret, deceptive, or forced. She tells him how to resist inappropriate touching, affirming that abuse is not the child's fault.

The introduction provides valuable information about sexual abuse and guidance on what to do if your child experiences an abusive situation. Jody Bergsma's delightful illustrations soften the impact of the story, yet this portrayal of a dangerous situation is very realistic. If your child is old enough to sit still and listen to a story, he or she is old enough for The Right Touch.

Uncle Willy's Tickles: A child's right to say No order quantity

NZ$ 23.00 each
Paperback
Author: Marcie Aboff
In Stock: 0
A story about "your body belongs to you" and a child's right to say no. It is designed to help children learn about body boundaries and learn to express themselves when they don't like something, even if that something is as benign as the tickles of a trusted adult.

Uncle Willy is Kyle's favorite relative, but sometimes Uncle Willy's tickles bother Kyle. In this charming story that features a nonthreatening, much-loved adult and avoids controversial sexual issues, Kyle must find a way to understand his right to his own physical boundaries, and how to set those boundaries.

This book is an excellent general education for all children aged 3-8, that is not related to sexual abuse and trauma. The new second edition includes a "Note to Parents" section written by clinical child psychologist who discusses the issue and suggests ways that parents can help their children establish and maintain healthy physical boundaries.
