It's MY Body
Designed to help adults talk with toddlers and preschoolers about sexual abuse in a way that reduces embarrassment and fear and emphasizes self-reliance and open communication, It’s MY Body does not contain specific references and stories about sexual abuse, a nod to the tender age of its target audience. It does, however, emphasize how children’s feelings can help them make decisions about sharing their bodies, and how to communicate those decisions to others. The book introduces two “touching codes,” which children can use to protect themselves when they are uncomfortable.
My Grandma Died
This gentle story of a child reacting to a grandparent's death is written for the very young. It uses simple, honest language to clarify that death is permanent, that the child will never again be able to bake cookies or rock with Grandma. This loss, the child acknowledges, is far greater than the loss of a toy or a pet's disappearance. This book assures the young child that it's normal to feel angry, frightened and sad when grieving. It also helps a child distinguish between the emotional pain of grief and the physical pain children have already experienced in such routine activities as outdoor play. Carefully researched and reviewed by therapists who work with pre-school and primary-age children, offers practical, age-appropriate suggestions for coping with loss. Introduction by a clinical psychologist.

Speak
The groundbreaking National Book Award Finalist and Michael L. Printz Honor Book with more than 3.5 million copies sold, Speak is a bestselling modern classic about consent, healing, and finding your voice. "Speak up for yourself—we want to know what you have to say." From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows this is a big lie, part of the nonsense of high school. She is friendless, an outcast, because she busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. As time passes, Melinda becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether. Only her art class offers any solace, and it is th...
The Trouble with Secrets
Aimed at helping children understand which secrets should be shared with an adult and which can be kept, this book teaches that while it can be fun to keep exciting surprises, any secrets that cause children anxiety or worry should be shared right away--even if they've been told to keep silent. This is a useful tool for sexual abuse prevention.
Missing Children
Child abduction is the most widespread form of child victimization studied. In 1992 alone, a total of 27,553 cases of missing children were reported in New York State through the Missing Children Register. The majority of missing children cases involved suspected runaways. Abduction cases accounted for one percent of the total report; those committed by family members comprised the most frequent form of abduction (as opposed to abduction by strangers). In addition, 88 percent of the children reported missing were age 13 or older, 60 percent were girls, and 58 percent were white. Child abduction is a serious socio-economic problem. Until now there has been no text that addresses the incidence, psychological dimensions, and explanatory models of child abductions. This book fills a need by focusing on variables that assist in confronting and preventing child abductions, including teacher training, public education and awareness, psychotherapeutic techniques for families and friends of abducted children as well as the children themselves.

An Exceptional Children's Guide to Touch
The rules of physical contact can be tricky to grasp and children with special needs are at a heightened risk of abuse.
