There are lots of stopping points for questions/discussion that wouldn’t flow as well in a lesson (in my opinion). That said, they are the kind of books I would use with my own children versus what I would use in a lesson. They are really developmentally appropriate and well written. There are a couple of other books by Jayneen Sanders (who wrote Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept that I love) about consent and body safety. However, it is so wonderfully non-threatening yet clear that I still highly recommend it. I wish so badly for an updated version of this book because I know it’s sepia outlined illustrations can be a block to engagement for some students. It explains the concepts of privacy, of telling people “no” when we’re uncomfortable with they’re touching, the fact that it could be someone you know/love that touches you inappropriately, and the importance of disclosing if it happens. It’s clearly a “lesson” type book, not a real storyline, but it’s read from the perspective of a young girl sharing about conversations with her family members which makes it more engaging.
