Lady B Spots Trouble
Volume 1 of the Allowed to Say NO Series

A safe way of having a big conversation with young children about unwanted touch. A companion Colouring Book and Kindergarten Teacher's Guide (downloaded for free from author's website) facilitates teaching personal safety skills in an easy and age-appropriate manner.

Jesse and Lady B navigate these adventures, not just with lifejackets and seatbelts, but with the secret power of instinct.
