Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2-This is the perfect book to help children be aware of abuse and know what do to if it happens to them. A young boy talks about his body and how it is private. One day his uncle's friend touches him inappropriately and, because his parents have taught him what to do, he tells them immediately and they reassure him that he did the right thing. The book also mentions teachers as trusted adults to whom a child can talk. The author concludes with suggestions for sharing this book with children and resources for adults. The bright and bold illustrations are soothing, complementing the rhyming text. A must-have for parents and others who work closely with children.-Martha Rico, El Paso ISD, TX (c) Copyright 2015.
