In this gentle and empowering children's book by educator and recording artist, Jaleel JaRich Ritchwood Jordan, we meet two friends, Emma and Leo, who are learning a very important lesson: their bodies belong to them.
Through realistic colorful illustrations and simple, clear language, children will learn about the difference between a good touch and a bad touch. The book teaches them that they have the power to say yes or no to hugs and high-fives and how to recognize when a touch feels yucky or wrong.
Most importantly, My Body Belongs to Me gives children the words they need to stay safe. It empowers them to say NO! loudly, get away, and tell a trusted adult. By introducing a circle of safe, supportive people-from parents and teachers to doctors and grandparents-this book reminds children that they are never alone.
It is a brave and reassuring story that helps children understand their personal boundaries and gives them the confidence to speak up, because their voice is powerful and their safety matters.
