Why we made it
Consent starts with simple words.
Children need language for bodily autonomy before difficult situations arise. We made this book to support their instincts while keeping trusted grown-ups part of the conversation.
Their body belongs to them
A clear page explains when a trusted grown-up may need to step in for health or safety.
Real kids, real moments
Kids hug, fist-bump, sign yes and no, and ask for space.
Built to last
Thick, sturdy pages hold up to little hands.
Praise for This Is My Body, I Get to Choose
What readers are saying
“The photographs provide a lot of facial expressions, body language, and activities to mirror, and the love and care shown by the unnamed subjects give this book the qualities of a warm (but consenting) hug.”
“The messages were simple and clear, and they have started using the language from it.”
“This one is awesome for the ways it shows and demonstrates the idea of bodily autonomy while balancing that sometimes parents have to help kids make good, safe choices for their bodies.”
