Quarto Publishing PLC Can We Talk About Consent
Book SynopsisWhat exactly is consent? Why does it matter? How can you respect other people’s boundaries, and have them respect yours? Can We Talk About Consent? breaks down the basics of how to give and get consent in every aspect of life for readers aged 14 years and older. It's a powerful word, but not everyone understands exactly what it means. This stylish guide explains clearly why consent matters – for all of us. With honest explanations by experienced sex and relationships educator Justin Hancock, you'll learn how consent is a vital part of how we connect with ourselves and our self-esteem, the people close to us and the wider world. The book covers a broad range of topics, including: how we greet each other how to choose things for ourselves how we say no to things communicating and respecting choices iTrade Review'Can We Talk About Consent is the much-needed straightforward introduction to consent that we've all been waiting for. This book is engaging, entertaining, and full of great visuals and helpful activities. Justin takes the reader gently by the hand - with consent of course! - and guides them through the tricky terrain of how to navigate sex and relationships consensually, as well as how to consider the impact of such vital aspects as power, 'ism's, 'should stories', and experiences of non-consensual behaviour. This really is a vital book for young people, and - I would say - for people of all ages.' -- Meg-John Barker * Author of Queer: A Graphic History and A Practical Guide to Sex *"Can We Talk About Consent is a smart, thoughtful, and lovely book that gets into the nitty-gritty of consent. It helps young people understand and negotiate consent, agency, and power -- all in a relaxed, chatty style. It doesn't patronise, but it empowers, with concrete examples and lots of lively illustrations. A much-needed and brilliantly executed book." -- Katherine Angel * Author and academic. 'Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again' Verso, March 2021 *"Beautifully illustrated, full of invaluable information, and written by someone who has real experience in explaining this stuff! This book is essential reading for all young people who want to live a happy and safe life, and gives them amazing insight into a subject that many grown-ups find confusing. It’s SO needed right now. I only wish it was around when I was younger!" -- Dr Ranj Singh * NHS Doctor & TV Presenter *'A fresh, frank guide to relationships, respect and self-esteem.' -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller * 'As a longtime campaigner for positive and inclusive relationships education, I'm thrilled that this book is here - it is warm, witty, fun and full of colour, and a fantastic resource for the sector. As a parent to boys currently traversing their adventures through adolescence, I'm thrilled to be able to leave this around on the table to be browsed, when the time is right. Everyone should read this book - unless of course they don't want to, because that's fine too.' -- Ally Fogg - Writer and JournalistConsent is such an important thing for teenagers to discuss and understand, this could certainly kick-start conversations. Justin Hancock knows what he's talking about & I love the illustrations by Fuchsia MacAree. -- Caroline Fielding * Chartered School Librarian *I would urge every parent to put this in the hands of their teenage child – but not without reading it first. […] I would also recommend it, as essential reading to all those who teach PHSCE to young people of age 12 and up. * Armadillo Magazine *‘A great book for parents or grandparents who need to broach [the] thorny subject [of consent].’ * Mail+ *‘An entertaining, accessible and clear guide to what consent is.’ * Children's Books Ireland *

Oneworld Publications Talking to Alaska
Book SynopsisA powerful story of two unlikely friends brought together by the love of a dog ‘Timeless and clever.’ Sophie Dahl Sometimes rivals just need a helping paw... It only takes one day at their new school for Parker and Sven to become mortal enemies. Parker's had a terrible summer and just wants to be invisible, while Sven is desperate to make an impression and be known as anything other than "that boy with epilepsy." When Parker discovers her beloved dog Alaska – who she had to give away last year – now belongs to Sven, she's determined to steal Alaska back. Of course, that's easier said than done... Trade Review‘A super original, tense YA story about two struggling outsiders, connected by a dog – it's timeless and clever.’ -- Sophie Dahl, author of Madame Badobedah‘Talking to Alaska's strong characters and intriguing plot are powerful hooks into this heartfelt story.’ * Florentyna Martin, Waterstones Children's Book Buyer *‘Parker and Sven can't stand each other but I loved them both from the very first page. Feisty and believable, both vulnerable in different ways, they are linked together by Alaska, Parker's beloved dog who, she discovers, now belongs to Sven. Themes of friendship, loneliness, damage and privacy are woven into a tense story with characters that jump off the page, this will be an unmissable debut in the UK.’ * Jill Coleman, Director of Children's Books, BookTrust *‘From the start Alaska caught me with its unclichéd voices. It has two strikingly engaging young protagonists: the boy determined to be known for something other than his epilepsy and the outsider girl in mourning for her lost dog. Original in both the prose and the characterisation, this friendship drama and mystery story is a cut above.’ * Nicolette Jones, BookTrust judge *‘From the very first pages you are invested in the main characters. Big issues are dealt with in a sensitive accessible way and the story moves at a terrific pace. Highly recommended.’ * Simon Key, BookTrust judge *‘This is a riveting story with an intricate plot, wonderfully told. Epilepsy… is very sensitively handled. Adolescent surges of feelings such as loyalty, anger and love are skilfully integrated into the plot. The translator, Laura Watkinson, deserves special thanks for bringing her considerable skill to making this story accessible to an English audience.’ -- School Librarian'For animal-loving readers, the fluffy white dog may be reason enough to add this to collections, but the deeper layers of story make it a must.' -- Booklist, starred review'As heart-warming as it is thought-provoking… Woltz plants the reader squarely in the characters' shoes, making themes of understanding, hurt, friendship and privacy feel deeply personal. Laura Watkinson's translation into English deserves a special mention too.' -- SchoolNotices‘[Woltz] does not shy away from the dark feelings Sven has towards his epilepsy and towards himself as its bearer. Woltz’s achievement is significant. Few writers depicting young characters with various impairments choose to depict the full range of emotions such characters feel. Woltz also highlights both sides of the phenomenon of social media, both its positive and its negative aspects… Watkinson’s translation feels excellent, smooth and unmannered.’ -- Books for Keeps‘Sometimes you pick up a book that instantly draws you in. Talking to Alaska is such a book…Talking to Alaska highlights anxieties that many teenagers live with but it also shows that being open and honest can, in many cases, help allay fears and trauma.’ -- Good Reading Magazine

Jessica Kingsley Publishers I Have a Question about Cancer: Clear Answers for
Book SynopsisCancer is a difficult topic for any parent, caregiver or educator to explain to a child. This book is designed to help kids, including children with autism spectrum disorder or other additional needs, to understand what it means when someone in their life has cancer.Using a question and answer format, it explores the life changes and feelings of uncertainty a child may experience if a loved one has cancer. Illustrated with SymbolStix, a symbol-based language for visual thinkers, this book explains a difficult topic to children who might otherwise struggle to understand it. The book also features a short picture story that repeats the complete story for children who process information best through visual cues. Additional guidance for parents and caregivers provides ideas to help children cope with this experience.Trade ReviewWith three children on the Autism Spectrum, we know all too well how complicated it is when things occur that mess with the usual routine. Sometimes, even seemingly simple changes can be hard to contend with; but throw in something like a loved one being diagnosed with cancer, and our world can become quite complicated. Whether or not the loved one is part of your child's everyday experience, emotions around illness are complicated, difficult to explain and can certainly interfere with the child's daily routine. We can think of several occasions during which we could have really used a book like this! It is a true gift to parents, caregivers and children who are faced with this very difficult subject. * Matthew Asner, President/CEO, The Ed Asner Family Center and Navah Paskowitz-Asner, Founder and Executive Director, The Ed Asner Family Center *Cancer remains confusing even to me-and I've survived it. Polsky and Gaines have, seemingly effortlessly, created one of the most straight-forward, useful, honest tools for talking to young children (with or without special needs) about a complex and scary topic. This book is a gift for families going through a difficult time-providing easy-to-understand information for children and the comfort that comes with having answers. I can't recommend this resource enough for anyone looking to explain cancer to children, and I can't wait to see what the next book is in this invaluable series. * Jodie Fishman, cancer survivor, mother to three young children, and Senior Writer at ZERO TO THREE *As an oncologist for over 20 years, I know that sometimes one of the most challenging things for cancer patients is talking about their illness with children, grandchildren or other young family members or friends. As a young child and teen, my mother was treated for and ultimately died from cancer, profoundly affecting me and my passion for caring for the children of cancer patients. It's an incredibly complicated subject to begin with, with so many variables in experience and outcome. Coupled with one's own feelings of uncertainty, fear, and managing day to day physical challenges, explaining to children what is happening can be especially trying. Gaines and Polsky have written a book that will most certainly alleviate one significant stressor as a family navigates cancer. Without assigning the cancer to a particular person or even part of the body, the authors have created a resource that's part story and part roadmap. Told from a child's perspective that is truly inclusive of learning need, gender and race, any child can see themselves as the narrator of the story. This is a one-of-a-kind book that I look forward to sharing with many of my patients and colleagues. * Dr. John Lindsay Marshall, MD, Chief, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Medstar Georgetown University Hospital; Director, Otto J.

It can be embarrassing and nobody else talks about vaginas - so why should you? But KNOWLEDGE IS POWER people! The more we know the better equipped we will be to deal with our bodies in the future. In this beautifully illustrated book, Dr Allison K. Rodgers simply explains everything from why we have periods to sex and consent in the age of social media. You'll learn the correct names for everything, realise public hair is TOTALLY NORMAL, and discover the magical self-cleaning properties of vaginas.Trade Review"An educational and empowering book that normalizes change and difference. With inviting sections that reflect genuine questions... Rodgers’ body-positive tone and Le Large’s inclusive illustrations make for a fun, accessible book that offers readers from any gender an entry point to understanding vaginas, their function, and their care... visual inclusivity underscores Rodgers’ resounding message: Everyone is different, and we can be proud of our unique selves." * Kirkus *"An approachable, empowering resource for readers undergoing puberty and approaching adolescence... Rodgers endeavors to provide readers with necessary tools to make informed decisions about the care and keeping of their own bodies. Le Large’s highly stylized and casual illustrations... [strike] a successful balance between easily absorbed content and sobering health education." * Publishers Weekly *"An inviting, conversational style puts readers at ease. A wealth of helpful illustrations... makes this guide highly recommended. Not only does the art feature female bodies in a range of sizes and skin colors, it also includes a variety of abilities and identities. An important puberty resource that will leave readers educated, empowered, and feeling included." * Booklist *"A frank and honest look at female genitalia and reproductive systems... great for adults who want to start a conversation." * School Library Connection *"Delightfully diverse, the illustrations by illustrator Annika Le Large feature bodies of all shapes, sizes, and colours. There is also an incredibly inclusive theme of honouring anyone and everyone who has a vagina. The sex talks include same-sex conversations, and there’s even an entire two-page illustration of how everyone’s vulva and labia can look a little different." * Romper *"If you’re ready to have ‘the talk’ with your child but you’re not sure where to start, let this excellent book do the hard work for you... A must-read for every mother and daughter." * SheerLuxe *"Accompanied by captivating and colourful illustrations, each fact in Rodgers’s book is easy to understand, shameless, and very inclusive. The inclusivity of this book is one of its best features, and it will hopefully help alleviate some embarrassment or shame that many young teens go through when starting puberty." * Children's Literature *

Gecko Press Tell Me: What Children Really Want to Know About
Book SynopsisEverything children really want to know about sexuality and bodies-and aren't afraid to ask. This book collects questions asked by boys and girls and answers them directly: the questions are real, the answers honest and the images funny. How much sex education do children need? As much as they ask for, say the experts. And exactly what do children want to know? Ask them! This book collects questions asked anonymously by children in classes about the human body, love and sexuality by experienced sex educationist Katharina von der Gathen. The answers are both direct and warm-hearted, giving children the information they really want to know in a form they can relate to. What is so important about the body? Why do bodies grow hair? Why do people kiss? Is it embarrassing to have sex? Why do breasts hang down? What does it feel like to be in love? Can a grandmother have children? What is a hormone? Can a child fart when it's inside a mother's body? What is sexy?Trade Review"As the subtitle indicates, this German import answers a whole host of questions kids curious about sex want the answers to. There are 99 in all, covering anatomy, puberty, reproduction, sexual and gender identity, and, of course, sex. The book opens vertically, with the page below the gutter displaying both the handwritten question and a cartoon drawing, frequently humorous. The second question, 'Are there different penises, ' is illustrated with a double lineup of 10 unengorged penises complete with hair and scrota, some circumcised, some not, all verifiably different. Its placement so early in the book ensures readers know what they're getting into in terms of both tone and frankness. Sex educator von der Gathen's answers appear on the flip side; all employ appropriate vocabulary that's respectful of the capabilities of their audience and are calmly inclusive of variations in human and cultural experience. While the book early on establishes the fact that there are 'people who identify as a different gender than the one they are born with, ' it often uses gendered language to describe experiences: 'Girls get their periods for the first time and boys have their first ejaculation' during puberty, for instance. When discussing sexual intimacy, the importance of consent is ever present. Kuhl's cartoons depict adults and children of different racial presentations and include several same-sex couples. Funny and frank, this will be an important resource for many kids."--Kirkus Reviews --Journal
