What this book is about
- I Said No! A Kid-To-Kid Guide to Keeping Private Parts Private is a non-fiction guidebook designed to help kids understand and protect their body boundaries. It explains private parts in clear, age-appropriate language and introduces kids to important body safety rules.
- The book covers real-life situations and uses easy-to-understand terms like “red flags” and “green flags” to help kids recognise unsafe or confusing behaviour.
- It walks through scenarios where someone might try to touch a child inappropriately, take photos, or ask them to keep secrets – and clearly explains that these things are never okay, no matter who it is.
- Kids learn how to say no, what to say if they feel unsafe, and most importantly, how to find a trusted adult to tell.
- It also talks about going to the doctor, and how those situations are different (with parent permission and for health reasons).
- The co-author, Zac, was a child when the book was written, which makes the tone feel really relatable to kids. It’s not preachy – it’s peer-to-peer.
- This book is a brilliant tool for starting family conversations about safety, consent, and trusting your gut.
- The illustrations are simple, expressive, and inclusive – reinforcing that all kids deserve to feel safe and respected in their own bodies.
