Description

The Right Touch reaches beyond the standard scope of a children’s picture book. This can be a parenting book that introduces a very difficult topic–the sexual abuse of young children. This gentle, thoughtful story can also be read aloud to a child by any trusted caregiver.

In the story, young Jimmy’s mom explains the difference between touches that are positive and touches that are secret, deceptive or forced. She tells him how to withstand inappropriate touching, affirming that abuse is not the child s fault.

The introduction provides valuable information about sexual abuse and guidance on what to do if your child experiences an abusive situation. Jody Bergsma’s gentle illustrations soften the have an effect on of this story; yet this portrayal of a dangerous situation is very realistic. If your child is sufficiently old to sit down still and listen to a story, she or he is sufficiently old for The Right Touch.

Used by parents and teachers nationwide to help children keep away from sexual abuse, this book won the 1999 Benjamin Franklin Parenting Award. It was once a finalist for the Small Press Award and was once also “Selected as Outstanding” by the Parent Council, Ltd.
