Because It's My Body! is a beautifully illustrated picture book which offers a new and unique approach to teaching children ages 4-8 years behaviors which lessen their vulnerability to molestation and sexual abuse by empowering them, without causing undue anxiety. Unlike other books of this genre, it is about prevention, and caters to the emotional preparedness of the youngest of children. Without any reference to anatomy, this book effectively begins the self-protective process of defining physical boundaries, while also acknowledging how wonderful human contact can be. Its Note to Parents arms parents with positive and useful information about their role in educating their children on this ever-timely topic.

Because It's My Body! should be the first step you take in learning how to keep your children safe and sane in a world which is often neither!
