“Simple and so powerful…my daughter actually says that no one can force her to hug.” – Kannan R

Teaching children about body autonomy and consent is an important tool to help prevent exploitation. Understanding body autonomy and consent at a young age can empower a child to speak up and say “no” if an unsafe situation occurs. It can also equip children to report unsafe behaviour if it happens. This is a book about listening and respecting children when they say no to being touched or hugged or kissed – even if its someone they know very well.

    This is a must-have for all children! I loved it and read it to my child often and we also discuss many things about consent and boundaries. So important that children have this exposure at a young age so that they are informed.

    Bought this after attending a body safety workshop conducted by Team Kidsonalert. This is such an important topic that we parents tend to just ignore. But having these books can really make a difference. The quality of the book is very good.

    My child is usually very shy and doesn’t say no easily. After reading this book we had a good conversation and I can see a small change already. Good for building confidence.
