Yes! No! A first conversation about consent, was such a great children’s book! It talked about an important topic, consent, in an accessible and concise way, easy to understand and learn from. It was simple, age-appropriate and informative! Definitely will be a re-read for me in the future! I rated this 5 stars! ⭐️

Really good content here that is both approachable for little kids and helpful for adults who engage with kids about it. Intro from author team and afterword break down ways to use this book and continue having conversations while operating on an affirmative consent (yes means yes) model.
Very inclusive art. Is the wheelchair functional for the child using it? Unclear. But also it is integrated well. Feels like a rise book.

Not a good book to read during story time as the first couple of pages have extremely direct (and accurate) bodily identifiers. But it is a great book for caregivers to read to their littles about consent and bodily autonomy.

This was a really good one. I really appreciated the pages that explained that some people's 'No's are a little more uncertain than a firm "Absolutely not, NO!" but they still mean it. There is also a spread addressing body language, and how that can also show us 'no.' Such an important conversation, and this is a great introduction. It's a shame that some people will flip out when they see one page with naked children learning body part names; this feels like the time for kids to learn that there is nothing shameful about their bodies, but that they are their own and no one else's. There is also a really helpful few pages at the end, for parents/caregivers who may want to tailor the conversation or help them address questions that may come up. I feel like while these books are important for the kids, they're important for the adults, too. If a kid says 'no,' don't force them into a kiss and hug, or keep tickling them. It's not about you- don't be weird.

The "First Conversations" series is so well done. This is an important addition.
