Kate Jane Neal, the author and illustrator of Words and Your Heart and Wonderful You, takes on the two most powerful words we have: Yes and No.
We all have the power to say two little words with big meaning... YES and NO!
You can say YES to trying new things and making new friends.
And sometimes, saying YES can be tricky and lead you wishing you hadn't said it!
You can also say NO to things that make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
Saying NO can sometimes take great courage!
Listening to how our bodies and minds feel can help give us the strength to say YES or NO. And that is a brave and powerful thing!
Kate Jane Neal has created another heartfelt picture book for young ones growing up in this changing world-one that shows them they should listen to their guts. This is a necessary message and a timeless book for all children, at home, and in classrooms.
"This tame, spare, and direct read-aloud offers open-ended examples, making it a potentially useful primer for teachers, parents, and caregivers to introduce children to some of the fundamentals of consent. A combination of thick black lines, generous use of white space, and frothy bursts of color work to make this visually appealing as well. A helpful introduction to yes and no."
