Starishevsky, Jill,

My body belongs to me : a book about body safety / Jill Starishevsky ; illustrated by Angela Padron. - Minneapolis, MN : Free Spirit Publishing, 2014 - 27 pages; color illustrations; 21 cm.

"Without being taught about body boundaries, a child may be too young to understand when abuse is happening--or that it's wrong. This straightforward, gentle book offers a tool parents, teachers, and counselors can use to help children feel, be, and stay safe. The rhyming story and simple, friendly illustrations provide a way to sensitively share and discuss the topic, guiding young children to understand that their private parts belong to them alone. The overriding message of My Body Belongs to Me is that if someone touches your private parts, tell your mom, your dad, your teacher, or another safe adult"-- "This book offers a tool parents, teachers, and counselors can use to help children feel, be, and stay safe. The rhyming story and simple illustrations provide a way to sensitively share and discuss the topic of body boundaries and child sexual abuse"--

Age 3-8.
