Your Body Belongs to You

by Cornelia Maude Spelman · 1997

+ Want to read

In simple, reassuring language, the author explains that a child's body is his or her own; that it is all right for kids to decline a friendly hug or kiss, even from someone they love; and that you can still be friends even if you don't want a hug now.
