My Body, My Rules

This warm, engaging picture book teaches about bodily autonomy and consent as both a giver and receiver of touch. 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, make mischief, and keep each other safe.

With new books in the My Body series coming soon: My Body, My Brain, and My Body, My Voice!
