Provides children with confidence about accepting and rejecting physical contact from others, helping to give children a voice in uncomfortable situations. As a child, there are constantly people trying to pick you up, hug you, or tickle you. Sometimes, though, children fall victims to people who try to touch them inappropriately. But how do you tell someone, most likely an adult, that you don't want to be touched? Or, if it has already happened, how do you tell an adult you trust about what happened? You're only a child, and they're the adults. Why would they believe you? My Body Belongs to Me! is an educational tool to help instill confidence in children when it comes to their bodies. The narrative of the story is led by a girl.
