Books Penguin Random House | Yes! No!: A First Conversation About Consent By Megan Madison & Jessica Ralli

Developed By Experts In The Fields Of Early Childhood Development And Activism Against Injustice, This Board Book Offers Clear, Concrete Language And Imagery To Introduce The Concept Of Consent.

This Book Serves To Normalize And Celebrate The Experience Of Asking For And Being Asked For Permission To Do Something Involving One’S Body. It Centres On Respect For Bodily Autonomy, And Reviews The Many Ways That One Can Say Or Indicate “No.”

While Young Children Are Avid Observers And Questioners Of Their World, Adults Often Shut Down Or Postpone Conversations On Complicated Topics Because It’S Hard To Know Where To Begin. Research Shows That Talking About Issues Like Race, Gender, And Our Bodies From The Age Of Two Not Only Helps Children Understand What They See, But Also Increases Self-Awareness, Self-Esteem, And Allows Them To Recognize And Confront Things That Are Unfair, Like Discrimination And Prejudice.

This Book Offers A Supportive Approach That Considers Both The Child And The Adult. Illustrative Art Accompanies The Simple And Interactive Text, And The Backmatter Offers Additional Resources And Ideas For Extending This Discussion.

Recommended For Ages 2 To 5 Years
