Kayla writes with evocative skill and a deep sense of compassion for hurting children and families. Many writers have sought to help children navigate the complexities of abuse, neglect and fear, but have been ill at ease with the subject matter. Kayla speaks practically and poetically with insight into one of the most compelling new discoveries for children in the modern context – the expanding universe of empirical research that is teaching us about how to most effectively join the healing journey of children from hard places.

My 3-year-old little boy and I read My Body’s Mine last night for the first time. He immediately came up with a rhyme from the book: “Neck to No, Neck to Knee.” I feel like this book has given him a good sense of his body being his, and nobody should touch it, or ask him to keep secrets. It also tells him who is safe to tell if something does happen. Thank You for creating such an easy way to talk about this subject with young children!

My Body's Mine is an excellent resource for helping parents and kids break open the barriers and talk about sexual abuse. The picture book provides easy to understand instructions for children of any age to recognize sexual abuse. The inviting illustrations and sing-song rhyme encourages kids to read on their own or along with exercises that the parent and child can do together. I am a very protective mother of six children and will highly recommend this book; in fact, I believe this book should be in every daycare center, school, church, and home. A must-read for anyone who has a child!
