Publisher's Synopsis
The Nonnie Series addresses challenging topics for children and adults with kindness and respect. The idea of consent if too often relegated to adult conversations; children hear and listen to adult words and are often confused. Consent is more than sex or adult relationships; teaching people the concept of consent as children and young people can lay a foundation for communication and healthy relationships. The two main characters in The Nonnie Series, Tamika and Alex, learn about setting boundaries, respecting little people during tickling or play, sharing feelings and vulnerability, ways to talk about older relatives who kiss and pinch cheeks, and dealing with crushes. Along the way, the children's friend Hailey discloses unwanted touch and Nonnie guides the children to an awareness of their own self-worth. They discover the power of "Owning their no" and the reality that yes means yes. Created for adults and children in grades 3 - 8, Nonnie Talks about Consent seeks to inspire dialogue between child and adult while modeling respect and kindness.
