What People Are Saying...

  • Educational and approachable, this engaging read offers up age-appropriate definitions of these “private parts” while describing them as “just parts of the body, like elbows, chins, or toes” as well as “pretty special” components that “do things that no other body part can do.”

    Publisher's Weekly
  • "This book is an absolute gem in this space for body safety books. If you are looking for a resource that promotes body positivity, privacy, and safety look no further. Five stars!"

  • "[My husband] heard me reading them to M. He came up to me afterwards and said, 'Those were really well-done,' and 'I understand why you got them for her now, and I'm so glad you did.' 🥹 ... These are SUCH good resources for parents to lead discussions with their children."

  • "These two books are a great age-appropriate way to introduce children to their body parts. It's also good for children to know about the body parts they don't have. Removing the mystery makes it less likely they will be involved in inappropriate situations."

    @kidsminds_smarthearts
  • "I was super excited to discover that we finally have some books for young children that teach them the proper names, are diverse, inclusive, and talk about a part of their body in a factual way, but also throwing in some body safety educational stuff as well."

    Cath Hakanson, Founder, Sex Ed Rescue, and author of The Parents' Guide to Explaining Sex
  • "They're really, really sweet. The art is amazing. I would recommend that you get both books; they are really special."
