Body safety is one of the most important things a child can learn - and My Body Belongs to Me makes those conversations warm, clear, and empowering.
Join Pip on a gentle journey through the seven most important body safety rules every child ages 4-8 deserves to know. With soft, painterly illustrations and simple, affirming language, this book is designed to be read aloud together - and to keep the conversation going long after the last page.
Inside this book, children will learn:
- What private parts are - and the simple Bathing Suit Rule
- The difference between safe touch, unsafe touch, and confusing touch
- How to listen to their body's signals - even when something feels just a little bit wrong
- That they have the right to say NO - to anyone, including people they love
- The difference between safe surprises and unsafe secrets
- How to build a personal Safety Circle of trusted grown-ups
- That speaking up is always the right thing to do - and it is never, ever their fault
Perfect for:
- Read-aloud sessions at home for ages 4-8
- Kindergarten and grade-school classrooms
- School counsellors and family resource centres
- Parents looking for a gentle way to start important conversations
- Children who are beginning to understand their own body and boundaries
What makes this book different:
Unlike books that rely on clinical language or skip the emotional layer entirely, My Body Belongs to Me pairs every concept with how it feels - teaching children to listen to their gut, name their discomfort, and trust their instincts. The tone is warm and empowering from the first page to the last. There are no monsters, no scary scenarios - just clear, honest, age-appropriate guidance delivered through a character children will love.
Includes bonus sections for grown-ups:
- A Grown-Up Note with guidance on how to use the book
- Conversation Starters to keep the dialogue going after reading
- Signs to watch for if a child may need support
- An interactive Safety Circle activity page
- A Body Safety Pledge for children to sign and celebrate
Part of the My Body, My Rules series - 4 books for ages 4-8:
- Book 1: My Body Belongs to Me
- Book 2: My Feelings Are Mine
- Book 3: Safe People, Safe Places
- Book 4: My Voice Matters
Body safety education isn't a one-time conversation. It's an ongoing gift. Give your child the words, the confidence, and the knowledge they need - starting today.
