From the co-creator of the viral 'Tea Consent' video, this is the perfect introduction to consent for kids and families everywhere.
Your body belongs to you and you get to set your own rules, so that you may have boundaries for different people and sometimes they might change. Like when you hi-five your friends and kiss your kitten, but not the other way round!
But consent doesn't need to be confusing. From setting boundaries, to reflecting on your own behaviour and learning how to be an awesome bystander, this book will have you feeling confident, respected, and 100% in charge of yourself and your body
Brought to life with funny and informative illustrations, this is the smart, playful and empowering book on consent that everyone has been waiting for.
A powerful and timely story, exploring the journey of two young
refugee children in search of safety. Perfect for opening up
conversations about conflict and war, encouraging empathy and
understanding. A young boy and his older sister have left home to
play a game. To win, she tells him, they must travel across endless
lands together and make it to the finish line. Children they meet
along the way imagine what might be waiting for them across the
border: A spotted dog? Ice cream! Or maybe a new school. But the
journey is difficult, and the monsters are more real than they
imagined. And when it no longer feels like a game, the two children
must still find a way to forge ahead, and reach the other side.
Beautifully brought to life by author-illustrator Erika Meza, this
is a symbolic and emotionally rich picture book about the spirit
and strength it takes to leave your home behind.

In this timely tale of immigration, two cousins learn the
importance of family and friendship.
"A year of discoveries culminates in a performance full of
surprises, as two girls find their own way to belong.
"
Mexico may be her parents' home, but it's certainly not Margie's.
She has finally convinced the other kids at school she is
one-hundred percent American--just like them. But when her Mexican
cousin Lupe visits, the image she's created for herself crumbles.
Things aren't easy for Lupe, either. Mexico hadn't felt like home
since her father went North to find work. Lupe's hope of seeing him
in the United States comforts her some, but learning a new language
in a new school is tough. Lupe, as much as Margie, is in need of a
friend.
Little by little, the girls' individual steps find the rhythm of
one shared dance, and they learn what "home" really means. In the
tradition of My Name is Maria Isabel--and simultaneously published
in English and in Spanish--Alma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M.
Zubizarreta offer an honest story of family, friendship, and the
classic immigrant experience: becoming part of something new, while
straying true to who you are.

From award-winning author Alex Gino comes a groundbreaking novel
for children about how important the past can be those trying to
create a different future. Sam is very in touch with their own
queer identity. They're nonbinary, and their best friend, TJ, is
nonbinary as well. Sam's family is very cool with it ... as long as
Sam remembers that nonbinary kids are also required to clean their
rooms, do their homework, and try not to antagonize their teachers
too much. The teacher-respect thing is hard when it comes to Sam's
history class, because their teacher seems to believe that only
Dead Straight Cis White Men are responsible for history. When Sam's
home borough of Staten Island opens up a contest for a new statue,
Sam finds the perfect non-DSCWM subject: photographer Alice Austen,
whose house has been turned into a museum, and who lived with a
female partner for decades. Soon, Sam's project isn't just about
winning the contest. It's about discovering a rich queer history
that Sam's a part of - a queer history that no longer needs to be
quiet, as long as there are kids like Sam and TJ to stand up for
it. For fans of MELISSA and RICK Featuring two non-binary
protagonists A powerful story to empower kids to think about the
history they are traditionally taught and what it means to be
included!

The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker. This is
the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a
small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy.
The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate
adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts
about digestion. (It's fair to say that parents might learn a
little bit too.) Praise for Kay's Anatomy: 'An enjoyably gross look
at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed' i 'Like
listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about' Sunday Times
'Totally brilliant!' Jacqueline Wilson 'Fun and informative'
Malorie Blackman 'Very funny - this exciting book is bound to
inspire the next generation of medics' Sunday Express Praise for
Kay's Marvellous Medicine: 'A ridiculously funny read that will
delight, gross out and educate all at the same time' Independent
'Educational and entertaining. It should be on the national
curriculum!' Harry Hill 'Completely marvellous and very funny'
