Private Parts are (private) is a compassionate and well-crafted picture book that opens up essential conversations about private parts and boundaries. It uses clear, age-appropriate language and engaging illustrations to teach the safety rules for private parts and teaches kids what to do if someone wants to break those rules. Whether you're a parent, educator, or caregiver, this book is an invaluable tool for starting body safety conversations early-and doing so in a way that builds trust and encourages kids to ask questions. Highly recommended for any home or classroom library. Such an important book! This is a topic that should be discussed with all children! It is so well written and visually interesting to kids! The author shares language that can be used over and over again to our kids! To the author: Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. May they help keep our kids safe!!! Kim Edmister has provided educators, parents and children with an excellent resource for a difficult and sensitive subject. Well written and nicely illustrated. Key strengths are the talking points she provides and the interactive approach. Well done. My grandchild LOVED this book! And..... such an important topic - it has opened the door for conversation that is so important for children to feel comfortable having with trusted adults. I appreciate the shared language for the ""rules"". Where has this been all these years! A must read with your children, students, teachers! Kim Edmister succeeds in taking this important, sensitive topic and delivers a way to normalize the conversation in an age appropriate way for young children. This book is interactive and the illustrations draw the reader in! This book is wonderful. I love the way there are hand motions to help make reading it even more fun for the younger children. Important book for all children! Interactive and great graphics! 10/10 recommend.
