This warm, large-format picture book will help the youngest child understand what sexual abuse is, what it is not, and what children can do to keep themselves safe from assault. Structured as a personal conversation with her reader, the book shares Jane Porett's experience as an adult survivor of child sexual abuse. She writes of her feelings of powerlessness, isolation, and shame after being abused, yet, at the same time, hers is a very positive message.
When I Was Little Like You will help children learn to say """"NO!"""" to their abuser, and to learn that some secrets should never be kept, but told to a trusted adult. The skillful drawings complement the book's calm and non-threatening style. For children aged 4 to 8.
