Why read it?

1 author picked C is for Consent as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Approaching the topic of body autonomy, this book tells the story of a boy who gets to choose what he does with his body, which in turn empowers him to respect the body autonomy of others. No more forcing hugs and kisses from friends and family members.

From Elizabeth's list on inclusive children’s books.
