Teach Children About Body Ownership, Respect, Feelings, Choices and Recognizing Bullying Behaviors
This book explores consent and respect with children especially in relation to body boundaries, both theirs and others. A child growing up knowing they have a right to their own personal space, gives that child ownership and choices as to what happens to them. These concepts are presented in a child-friendly and easily-understood manner.

An in-depth primer on boundaries, consent, and communication. I learned some things too (I'd never heard the term safety network, for example).
I liked tying heavier themes into more low stakes situations like someone grabbing your toy in the sandbox or getting mad at a sibling. A lot of discussion questions are included at the back of the book. I think this has a lot of uses and parents and teachers could both find it to be a good resource for breaking down important topics.
