The Moose and the Menace: WITS for the Win is a gentle, empowering story that helps children understand an important truth: their story belongs to them.

Through playful characters and relatable moments, kids learn that it's okay to set boundaries when faced with nosy or intrusive questions. Using the WITS strategy - Walk Away, say ""I don't have to tell,"" Tug on your hair/use a code, and Share only when you feel ready - the book gives children practical tools to protect their privacy while building confidence and self-respect.

Told through the voice of a foster child but written for all children, this book reassures young readers that their voice matters, their feelings are valid, and they are always in control of what they choose to share.

A supportive resource for parents, caregivers, and educators, The Moose and the Menace opens the door to important conversations about boundaries, empowerment, and respect.
