We need to talk about BOTTOMS!

Poor Mr Deng! Eric has kicked the football hard and hit him where it really hurts. As the children try to tell her what happened, Mrs Baker quickly realises that some children either don’t know the proper names for their private body parts or are too shy to talk about them. Seeing the problem in this, she teaches them a whole new vocabulary so they can explain any concerns ‘down there’ to a safe person. Child abusers are less likely to groom a child who knows the correct words for their private parts. Keeping children safe is challenging and requires us to be proactive. This book helps start what can be a difficult conversation, presenting the correct words in the form of an accessible, non-gender-prescriptive and sometimes amusing story. The illustrations also represent different ethnicities, making the book inclusive for all. This book comes with a digital handbook to guide parents and teachers as they navigate this important teaching experience.
