A gentle introduction to body boundaries
Cornelia Maude Spelman’s book introduces young children to personal boundaries through clear, reassuring explanations. It affirms that children can say no to hugs or kisses—even with people they care about—while making the distinction between affection and friendship. The description also notes that the book defines private parts and encourages children to tell someone if another person tries to touch them there. Together, these topics give the book a practical focus on bodily autonomy, consent, and speaking up.

In simple, reassuring language, therapist Cornelia Spelman explains that a child's body is his or her own; that it is all right for children to decline a friendly hug or kiss, even from someone they love; and that "even if you don't want a hug or kiss right now, you can still be friends." She goes on to define private parts and stresses that "it's important to tell if someone tries to touch your private parts."
