Book description
Where Hands Go - A Gentle Yet Powerful Guide to Consent
Krystaelynne Sanders Diggs has crafted a book that feels both comforting and courageous, striking the right balance for young readers who are just beginning to understand boundaries. From the very first page, the story invites children into a world where each character's body is respected, and every touch is asked for-no matter how small.
The illustrations burst with color and warmth, drawing kids in while subtly reinforcing the narrative's key points. Each picture feels like an invitation: "Look at this," "What do you think?" It keeps the tone light yet never dilutes the seriousness of the topic. The characters are diverse, reflecting the readers' own families and friendships, which makes the message feel personal and inclusive.
What sets this book apart is its clarity. Diggs uses simple language that a child can grasp while parents and educators find plenty of depth to discuss with their little ones. The dialogue about "yes," "no," and "safe" feels natural, as if it were part of everyday conversation rather than a lecture. It gives caregivers concrete ways to talk about consent without shying away from the word itself.
Beyond its educational value, Where Hands Go is an invitation to create trust. Children learn that they can speak up, that their feelings matter, and that asking for permission is both normal and empowering. For parents, teachers, therapists, or anyone who cares for children, this book offers a safe starting point-a gentle hand that guides the conversation about safety, autonomy, and respect.
In short, Where Hands Go is an essential read: it's beautifully written, wonderfully illustrated, and most importantly, it empowers children to feel confident in saying "no" when they need to. This book will become a staple on every bookshelf where young minds grow up learning that their bodies belong to them alone.
