It affirms the bodily autonomy of every child, and empowers young readers with practical tools to recognise and respect the boundaries of others. The book's messages about consent are framed within an exuberant rhyming text, celebrating the wonderful ways people share touch, to show love, have fun, and keep each other safe. Illustrated by Dasha Riley.

A delightful rhyming picture book about the power of language; using your voice to advocate, encourage and care for yourself and those around you.
