NO!: A FIRST CONVERSATION ABOUT CONSENT Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood development and activism against injustice, this topic-driven book offers clear, concrete language and imagery to introduce the concept of consent. YES! NO! serves to normalize and celebrate the experience of asking for and being asked for permission to do something involving one's body. It centers on respect for bodily autonomy, and reviews the many ways that one can say or indicate "No." While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, but sometimes it's hard to know where to begin when talking about complicated topics. Research shows that discussing issues like race, gender, and our bodies early helps children understand what they see, also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice.
