Fish in a Tree meets Fighting Words in J. S. Lemon's middle grade debut, a fiercely original story about friendship, healing, and the beauty of transformation.
What new classics should look like. A strange and beautiful tale . . . This story will spark important discussions. --Newbery Medalist Donna Barba Higuera Greta Goodwin's life is changing. On top of moving to a new neighborhood far away from her best friend, Lotti, she's also starting middle school. Greta isn't totally ready for boys, bras, and the chaotic cafeteria. She still feels like a little kid compared to those female classmates who have suddenly matured over the summer. Girls who are now the talk of the school--unlike Greta, who would rather fly under the radar, especially after a bad haircut that makes her look less effortlessly beautiful and more triangle with legs. But at her first-ever middle-school party, a boy does pay attention to Greta. Initially it feels good. And then it feels awful. In the aftermath, Greta can't make sense of what's happened, let alone talk about it, even to Lotti. Impossibly, Greta's body starts to change in a vastly different way from everyone else's. What follows leads Greta to believe the world might finally see her as she truly is: ethereal, powerful, and free. Sensitively told, stunningly written, and surprisingly funny, Greta will transform readers just as Greta herself is transformed.

This should be an exciting time for Caprice. She has been offered a place at the school of her dreams, where she's just had a fantastic summer. But this great opportunity coincides with a lot of internal doubt and the disturbing news that her long-estranged grandmother has fallen ill and may be near death. As Caprice tries to figure out her future, she is pulled back toward her past, and the abuse she endured from her uncle when she was little -- an abuse she's never told anyone about.

Body Safety Education (also known as protective behaviours or child sexual abuse prevention education) involves so much more than focusing on stranger danger. In fact, 95% of sexually abused children will know their abuser and only 5% will be strangers. It is also crucial for children to learn that they must never keep secrets that make them feel bad or uncomfortable (in fact, we teach it's best not to have secrets in families, only happy surprises). The trouble with secrets is that they are the main tool used by child molesters to ensure children remain silent about the abuse. Ensuring the secret is kept is of utmost importance to the perpetrator. Therefore, threats and insisting no-one will believe the child is used as a way of controlling the child to be silent. Through Body Safety Education parents and children will learn the importance of there being no secrets between us.
Parents and carers need to be on the lookout for signs of sexual abuse in children and grooming behaviour which is often focused on themselves as well as their children. The answer to the question, 'How do I keep kids safe from sexual abuse?' is simple; teach them Body Safety Education from a very young age. Always use the correct names for their genitals, ensure they know that the parts covered by their swimsuit are known as their private parts, and that private means 'just for you', and consequently not for sharing. This is known as the swimsuit lesson. When you teach your child that 'your body belongs to you' you are empowering them with confidence through knowledge. Body Safety Education also involves teaching your child that no-one can touch their private parts, and if they do, they must tell a trusted adult until believed.
Kids need to be safe as well as feel safe. Teaching a child that private means 'just for you' and that their private parts are found under their swimsuit is a valuable lesson that can prevent child molestation. Approximately 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. You can help stop child abuse by teaching social and physical boundaries to kids and that some parts are not for sharing. A child needs be able to proclaim loudly and with conviction that, 'My body belongs to me', 'I am the boss of my body' and that 'From my head to my toes, I say what goes'.

This book is about PREVENTING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE!
Talking to children about body safety, boundaries, safe and unsafe touch can be tedious and uncomfortable. If you are looking for a book to start the conversation about the prevention of child sexual abuse, then this is the book for you!
It is vitally important to have regular discussions with our children about child sexual abuse prevention. The lack of communication between parents/guardians/caregivers and children significantly contributes to the prevalence of sexual abuse. Parents, it's equally important to teach your child/ren to use the correct terms for each private part. Our children need to be informed about their bodies, their bodies' safety, and their rights, and this information is best coming from you. Without being taught that they have rights and their bodies have boundaries, a child may be too young to understand that the behavior is wrong. (Parents, if a child discloses sexual abuse, PLEASE believe the child!)
My Body Belongs To Me, Coloring and Activity book gets the conversation going in an engaging and entertaining way. By the end of the book, children will have a better understanding of their rights, their bodies, their private areas, and the importance of telling a trusted adult if someone makes them uncomfortable. Start the conversation, keep our children safe, join in the fight of combating child sexual abuse and sexual violence in their homes and communities.
In a small house, in a large city, lived a girl named Lena. Lena lives a happy life until one day a terrible thing happens. The morning after the terrible thing happens, Lena wakes up to find a dragon asleep on her chest-- a dragon no one else can see.
Everywhere she goes the dragon follows, wreaking havoc and getting Lena into trouble. The more Lena tries to ignore the terrible thing and the dragon, the more he grows. Will Lena get the courage to speak up about the terrible thing and learn to tame her dragon?
Lena & the Dragon tackles childhood trauma in a way that children will find relatable and adults can use as a stepping stone to deeper conversation. With evidence based approaches for managing anxiety and trauma triggers, Lena & the Dragon can also be utilized in a therapeutic setting. Most of all, Lena shows us all that we all can be resilient in the face of terrible things.
