Don’t Touch My No No Parts!
Written by Adrienne Alexander

During a time of unimaginable stories surrounding children losing their innocence and being abused, I believe it’s a topic of utmost importance that deserves attention and discussion.
The book, “Don’t Touch My No No Parts!” is designed to teach children about the importance of personal boundaries and recognizing the difference between safe and unsafe touch.
“Don’t Touch My No No Parts!” gently addresses a sensitive subject while highlighting body parts that may be targeted by individuals seeking to cause them harm. The book’s age-appropriate language encourages open dialogue between children, parents, and educators.
What sets this book apart is its ability to provide children with a foundation for understanding personal boundaries and fostering confidence in communicating their feelings. It serves as a valuable resource for parents, educators, and caregivers, equipping them with the tools to discuss personal safety in an engaging and empowering manner.
