This book empowers children by establishing an effective phrase for 'saying no' to unwanted advances. Be it kissing, hugging, tickling, or even a piggyback ride, when polite excuses don't work, such as 'Sorry I'm all hugged out for now,' the unequivocal added argument, ‘Because It's My Body!’ should produce the desired result. The text is clear and direct. Readers will be able to identify with the given examples and will feel the power in the keynote phrase each time it is repeated. This book gives them the tools needed to establish personal boundaries comfortably.

Book Review

In today's busy and sometimes scary world, parents are inundated with so many problems concerning children's safety. In our efforts to educate parents about these issues, Enough Is Enough has found that parents, educators and caregivers, sometimes have difficulty explaining to children how to be safe without frightening them. Because It's My Body! fulfills this role, as it speaks to children in a non-threatening, easy to read, understandable way. I am delighted to endorse and recommend Because It's My Body! to everyone who is concerned about children's safety.

Every year nearly five thousand children are abducted by strangers. This number does not include children who are victims of molestation from family members and other individuals. Your effort to educate children and parents by using age appropriate material should be commended.
