My Private Space
by Sabrina Kirkland (Author), Tiffany Smith (Illustrator)
When Mary Elizabeth moves into a pretty new house with her mommy and meets the man who will be her new dad, shes very excited. She has her own room with butterflies on the wall, new dolls and toys, and a closet full of new clothes and shoes. She feels like a princess!
But theres a dragon in the princesss new castle. Mary Elizabeths new daddy is not who he appears to be. He invades her personal space and touches her private place, which makes her cry and feel sad. Daddy says this is their secret and that she shouldnt tell or else the police will come and take him away. But Mommy said if anyone ever touched her in a way that made her feel uncomfortable or tried to hurt her, Mary Elizabeth should tell her. What should she do?
In this childrens story, when a little girl gets a new stepfather and he invades her personal space, she must decide whether to keep the secret or tell her mother the truth.
The caretaker or parent of every little girl, boy, girl scout, eagle, student, or artist needs to have this book! Bring this to a group were young kids gather, ask parents for permission and share the wisdom of the story. These are topics that most people shun away from, but the effects of not knowing can be everlasting. The book is a guide to enlighten our youth of boundaries and respect of their body, their own judgment, and their voice! Kudos to the author for having the strength for writing this story.
This book is phenomenal and very encouraging to young people who have been through the same thing but afraid to talk about it. i hope there will be a part 2 to this book, loved it!
