A good book for preschoolers to introduce them to the idea that they are in control of the body and they have the right to say that they don't want to be touched, hugged, or kissed. It also sensitively tells children that there are some places that nobody should touch and if someone does, they

A better-looking package than "It's My Body" but I wish it also acknowledged that any touch that makes you feel uncomfortable should be reported. It does explain that some places should never be touched by others "except when you need help in the bathroom or getting dressed or when you go to the
