Why is it important to talk to children about body safety?
Teaching body safety helps children understand their rights, recognize unsafe situations, and speak up when something doesn’t feel right. Early conversations reduce vulnerability and build a foundation for lifelong personal safety.
Why does the book use correct anatomical names for body parts?
Using correct names like "penis" and "vulva" helps eliminate confusion and ensures children can clearly communicate if something happens. Research shows that children taught correct terminology are more likely to disclose abuse if it occurs.

Yes. The book was developed with input from child psychologists, early learning educators, and abuse prevention experts. It aligns with best practices for personal safety education.

Let customers speak for us
from 5 reviewsI absolutely love this book. As a mom of two young boys, I’m always looking for age appropriate ways to talk about body safety and boundaries, and this does it in such a clear, empowering, and non scary way.
The language is simple enough for toddlers to understand, but it also opens the door for deeper conversations as they grow. I especially appreciate how it normalizes body parts and reinforces that every child has ownership over their body.
It’s become part of our regular reading rotation, and I feel so much more confident having these important conversations early. Every family should have this on their bookshelf.
We first borrowed this book from the library and I didn't realise that it was a book about body safety. After a few pages I, I was completely hooked and my kids were 100% engaged. We loved it so much, I purchased a copy. It's now on regular rotation at our place. While our children tend to remember the humour firstly, they do respond appropriately to questions we ask them about the content. Highly recommended!
I recently purchased this and read it to my six-year-old. I felt the storyline was straightforward and naturally builds to the subject of personal boundaries when it comes to private body parts and teaching the anatomically correct terms for them. This book is an excellent resource that naturally opens the door to having an important conversation that every single parent needs to have with their child especially when parenting in today’s post- Jeffrey Epstein world. This is the perfect resource to set the stage for this critical topic in an educational and matter of fact way. This book should be something readily offered to the public by local municipalities and school communities alike for widespread, mainstream adoption.
Everyone's Got a Bottom is hands down one of the most helpful books I’ve purchased as a parent. Talking about body safety with young kids can feel intimidating, but this book makes it so natural. The story is engaging, age-appropriate, and my kiddo actually enjoyed reading it with me (which is saying something!).
I love how it uses the correct names for body parts without making things awkward or scary. It opens the door to an important conversation in a way that feels safe and positive. The illustrations are bright and fun, and the Adults Guide in the back gave me extra confidence to keep these conversations going.
You can tell this book was created with input from child safety experts. It is clear, thoughtful, and so well done. I’ve already recommended it to friends and our daycare.
If you’re looking for a gentle, effective way to teach your kids about their bodies and boundaries, this is it. Every parent should have a copy!
We love this book. It is beautifully illustrated and well written. Most importantly, it created space and a playbook to talk about such an important topic in an age appropriate way with my children, who are 8 and 5. Highly recommend!
