What if your child knew โ€” deep down โ€” that their body belongs to them?

"My Body, My Rules" is a body safety coloring book designed for children ages 3โ€“6. Through simple language and open-ended coloring activities, kids learn foundational consent and personal safety concepts before they ever face a risky situation.

5 Key Lessons Inside:
โ€ข My body belongs to ME โ€” nobody has the right to touch me in ways that feel wrong
โ€ข Safe touch vs. unsafe touch โ€” a hug can be okay; a push, pinch, or secret touch is not
โ€ข It's always okay to say NO, even to adults โ€” your body is yours to protect
โ€ข Trusted adults โ€” identifying who to turn to when something feels off or scary
โ€ข Private parts are private โ€” and it's always, always okay to tell a grown-up what happened

This book also covers: good secrets vs. bad secrets, the difference between surprise and keeping a secret, and the critical message that it is never โ€” ever โ€” the child's fault.

What parents and educators say:
"My 4-year-old asked about 'private parts' after just the first page. This gave us the opening we needed." โ€” Verified Buyer
"My son has autism and was terrified of 'stranger danger' videos. This book uses calm, encouraging language โ€” exactly what he needed." โ€” Verified Buyer

Why this book works:
Most child safety books are written by therapists for therapy settings. "My Body, My Rules" uses the power of coloring โ€” a familiar, low-pressure activity โ€” to make body safety feel normal, not scary. Kids color the illustrations, absorb the message, and come back to it again and again.

11 pages of black-and-white line art. 6" ร— 9" paperback. Printed on high-quality paper suitable for crayons, colored pencils, and markers.

SafePalette creates body safety resources that empower children and support families navigating personal safety conversations.

5 Bullet Points (paste into KDP "Bullets" section โ€” one per line)

BODY SAFETY FOR KIDS 3โ€“6: Introduces foundational consent concepts โ€” private parts, safe vs. unsafe touch, saying no โ€” through familiar, low-pressure coloring activities
GENTLE, AGE-APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE: No scary imagery or heavy-handed messaging. Kids learn about body boundaries in words they understand and a format they love
SAYS NO TO UNWANTED TOUCH โ€” AND MEANS IT: Teaches children it's okay to refuse hugs, kisses, and touches from anyone โ€” even family members, teachers, or other kids
IDENTIFIES TRUSTED ADULTS AND BAD SECRETS: Helps children recognize who to go to for help, what makes a secret "bad," and why it's never their fault if something feels wrong
REINFORCES PRIVATE PARTS EDUCATION: Uses the bathing-suit rule to clearly define private parts and build the habit of telling a trusted adult when something happens
