Overview

"There is both good and evil in this world, and unfortunately, our precious children can be exposed to and experience some very dark and terrible things--nothing any child should have to endure. It's of the utmost importance that our children have a safe haven and that we teach them that they indeed have a voice and can express when they are hurt, scared, or abused. We must take their words and their actions seriously and do all in our power to protect them. Sexual abuse is rampant, and both children and adults need to be able to identify the warning signs and know what to do when faced with that trauma. Even when, and especially when it is someone we know and think we can trust! In this book, you will meet Joetta and her three woodland puppets. Through these puppets and their stories, children will learn what is and what is not appropriate behavior. And what to do if faced with the same situations. They will learn that it's okay to say ""NO,"" ""STOP,"" and to use their voice to prevent anyone from touching them or hurting them in any way that makes them uncomfortable."

You Have a Voice covers an important, sensitive topic in an appropriate way. It provides good information for school-age children in a non-threatening way and lets them know that it is not only okay, but important, to share when someone makes them uncomfortable. This book would be a good addition to any school library. -LouAnn Howard
