    When children know they have a right to their own personal space, they have ownership and choices as to what happens to them and to their body. It is equally important a child understands, from a very young age, that they need to respect another person’s body boundary and ask for their consent when entering their personal space. This book explores these concepts with children in a child-friendly and easily understood manner, providing familiar scenarios for children to engage with and discuss. It is important to take the time required to unpack each scenario and explore what they mean both to the character in the book, who may not be respecting someone’s body boundary, and to the character who is being disrespected. Through these vital discussions, children will learn the meaning of body boundaries, consent, and respect that they can carry forward into adult life.
