Was looking for an Indian book which talks about body safety in an Indian context and i found this. It is a very easy way to explain to young children about grooming and unsafe behaviour and that they can speak up.

I was honestly not sure how to even start this conversation with my son. Felt awkward. But this book makes it very easy and natural. Covers consent, secrets and unsafe behaviour in a very gentle way. Good illustrations also

All kids should be told this…its such a important topic but Indian parents find it difficult to talk about this. Excellent book
