Jackson remembered that his baby sister’s body was different from his. He wondered if his friends had different bodies too. “Can I see?” he asked Sami.
Ms. H said, “Vulvas and penises are parts of the body that we call private parts. Those are the parts usually covered by your underwear or swimsuit. They’re just for you. It’s okay to be curious about other bodies. But we don’t show our private parts to others.” Jackson felt embarrassed.

Teach consent in a child-friendly and developmentally appropriate way
Centered on a class of preschoolers, this series helps teach young children the social and emotional skills they need to understand the complexities of consent. Each book covers a consent theme, such as how to recognize the physical sensations that emotions create, look for body language cues, ask for and listen to choices, and know that our bodies have value. With believable, everyday situations and diverse characters, children can see themselves and others reflected in each story—and develop a vocabulary to communicate consent and feelings. Every book in the series is accompanied by a song from Peaceful Schools with downloadable audio files and sheet music.

Imaginative picture book helps children recognize their inner feelings and discover ways to regulate big emotions Dragons on the Inside (And Other Big Feelings) by Valerie Coulman, illustrated by Alexandra Colombo
September 2022
978-1-63198-540-9 $16.99 Juvenile Fiction/Emotions & Feelings 32 pp., full-color, 8" x 10" Hardcover Ages 4–8
Feelings on the inside aren’t always visible on the outside. This book validates young children’s emotions and helps them recognize, describe, and cope when they are anxious or overwhelmed on the inside. Throughout the book, multiple stressful situations are explored, and in each scenario, readers see the main character’s initial inner reaction to the stress and how it is diffused or diminished through a small act of connection from someone “on the outside.”
Key Features • Helps children develop an awareness of inner feelings and ways to describe them • Especially useful for children who struggle to recognize their emotions, including some kids with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and other processing disorders • Building an inner feelings vocabulary can help boost children’s emotional intelligence and empathy • A section for adults provides additional activities to use with children to reinforce the book’s message
Today is a big day. We are moving to a new house, in a new city.
ON THE OUTSIDE, I fasten my seat belt and tuck my bear in beside me. We wave goodbye to our old house as it gets smaller and smaller.
ON THE INSIDE,
a roller coaster screams through my ribs, swooping and swirling through loop after loop. My stomach flip flops.
