It’s crucial for kids to recognize and express their emotions, especially when it comes to feeling safe or unsafe. Approximately 20% of girls, and 8% of boys will experience sexual abuse before their 18th birthday (Pereda, et al, 2009).Jay participated in Protective Behaviours professional development and attended numerous conferences on the topic to educate herself in how to keep children safe and provide them with prevention education. The book emphasizes that no one should touch a child’s private parts and that they belong only to them.

This book is all about empowering and teaching children about personal body safety, feelings, safe and unsafe touch, private parts, consent, and respectful relationships. Through age-appropriate illustrations and engaging text this book, written by the author of ‘No Means No! The book also introduces the concept of a safety network, which consists of five people that children can talk to if they’re feeling worried or unsafe.My 7 year old and I had a lot of discussions about the safety network and being uncomfortable that were bridged using this book. Jay then went on to develop and publish a comprehensive Body Safety and Respectful Relationship Teacher's Resource Kit as well as writing several more children's books on the topics of Body Safety, consent, respect, body boundaries and gender equality.
