This fun, waterproof book is designed to take into the bath or shower. By going from the head down to the toes, and everything in between, the book teaches children that the penis and vagina are regular body parts just like knees, elbows or noses.
get over you embarrasment
Parents are often too embarrassed to name the ‘private parts, giving the impression that these do not exist, are not important or even dirty. “You will learn about that at school.” “You are too young” “Stop it! That is; “dirty!” “wrong!” or even “sinful!” Do you recognize this? By rejecting or ignoring questions and sexual behavior, young children learn to keep quiet. Yet teaching kids the proper names early opens the door to talking about gender and sexuality later.
The book was developed with Rutgers, organization for sexual and reproductive health and rights.
