Description

"Without being taught about body boundaries, a child may be too young to understand when abuse is happening--or that it's wrong. This straightforward, gentle book offers a tool parents, teachers, and counselors can use to help children feel, be, and stay safe. The rhyming story and simple, friendly illustrations provide a way to sensitively share and discuss the topic, guiding young children to understand that their private parts belong to them alone. The overriding message of My Body Belongs to Me is that if someone touches your private parts, tell your mom, your dad, your teacher, or another safe adult"-- "This book offers a tool parents, teachers, and counselors can use to help children feel, be, and stay safe. The rhyming story and simple illustrations provide a way to sensitively share and discuss the topic of body boundaries and child sexual abuse"--… (more)

This book is a great source to talk to children about their bodies belong to them.
Also clarifying that if some touches are improper they can talk to their parents or their teacher.

This book is about a child who's uncle's friend touches him inappropriately. The child is brave enough to tell and speak up about it. The story informs children there are parts of the body that should not be touched and is private. This is a good book for children to learn about inappropriate
