We need to encourage children to take control of their body and personal space from an early age.Children may not always understand their rights and so it is important to teach them about consent. As adults we must not assume that all situations are comfortable for children.This book can act as a tool for teachers, parents and health professionals in assisting children to understand the concept of consent. It also provides examples of situations which may be uncomfortable for some children and teaches them that in those situations, they can choose whether to give or not give consent.This book is simple yet profound in its verse and illustrations which enables the child and reader to talk about some of the 'uncomfortable' situations the child may find themselves in. Some of those situations could include people tickling them, hugging them, entering their personal space, cyber safety and many other scenarios.It is important for parents, teachers and professionals to teach children how they may respond in those 'uncomfortable' situations so as they grow they have a better understanding of their rights around giving or not giving consent.Beautiful large full color illustrations which makes the book a joy to read for both the child and the reader.

We want children to grow up in a world free from bias and discrimination, to reach for their dreams and feel that whatever they want to accomplish in life is possible. We want our children to feel loved and included and never to experience the pain of rejection or exclusion.To achieve this, we need to raise our children to celebrate, respect and value ALL people regardless of the colour of our skin, our gender, our physical abilities, our religious beliefs or the languages we speak.This book can support our children in reaching their goals and ambitions, achieving feelings of self-worth and embracing the wonderfully diverse world that we live in.

'Funny Feelings Aren't Funny' is an educational book that I have written for children aged 3-8 years to assist them to communicate their feelings in situations where they may be feeling nervous, anxious or unsafe.The book follows a series of gender-neutral and non-race-specific gingerbread characters in a variety of situations where they experience an array of physiological reactions, such as 'wobbly knees', 'butterflies in the stomach' or a 'pounding heart'. This book will assist children to make the link that if they have a 'Funny Feeling' then something may not be ok.The book is beautifully illustrated and brightly coloured making it a wonderful read for both children and adults.A must have educational book for families, teachers and health professionals working with children.
