This is a very well-done. It’s meant for elementary and middle grade about not just consent but bodily autonomy, and how things are changing. It does a great job of sharing examples and using illustrations to get its point across. It makes the difference between “consent” or “enthusiastic consent”, and the “maybe” type of consent. It also has lessons about when to talk to somebody like an adult or a parent, and when things might be more than you expected them to be. It does show more touch on porn and how porn is not necessarily a great example to follow. It packs a lot into a few pages. This book is wordy and a little repetitive when read all at once. But chapter by chapter it’s good not just for kids who are interested but could be used in school curriculum and with kids whether alone or gathered in groups. show less

I received an ARC of this book through Edelweiss. Great information and fantastic inclusive illustrations. It could go a little more in-depth on a few topics, but it is a great overview for the target age group.
