Our Very Special Bodies

'Our Very Special Bodies' (2014) is a children's book for parents (loving caregivers) to read with their preschool and primary school-age children. It is a story about two young sisters and their brother learning about their very special bodies. This book helps create a family norm in which children ask questions and talk openly about their bodies (including their very special private parts). Open communication is a critical component for the prevention of sexual abuse.

It is written and illustrated in a fun, interactive, multi-sensory manner. Children are not just listening to the story, but actively participating by pointing, touching, dancing, answering questions, and talking about family-specific norms/ expectations. The content assists parents in becoming more at ease with talking to their children about the topic of sexuality.
