My Body Is Mine: A Children’s Guide to Protection from Unsafe Touch

My Body is Mine is an illustrated children’s book that helps children and parents navigate the complex conversations around body boundaries, personal space, and safety planning as it pertains to child sexual abuse prevention.

Through playful illustrations and age-appropriate language, the story’s main character Sarah learns how she can protect herself from unsafe touch and what she should do if it happens. The book also contains an activity for children, guidance for parents and guardians, as well as links to free mental health resources.

It is a product of years of research and field-testing and has been vetted by mental health professionals, professors, public health experts, health workers, and members of the community to ensure its language, content, and style of delivery are culturally sensitive and appropriate for children.
