My Body Belongs to Me
by Jill Starishevsky"Dear Reader, Among the first things we teach children is to name the various parts of their bodies. As they grow older, this conversation should go a step further - some parts of their bodies are private and belong just to them. Just as we teach youngsters what to do in case of fire, we must teach them what to do if someone touches them inappropriately. The overriding message in My Body Belongs to Me is that if someone touches you, tell. Sadly, the overwhelming majority of sexually abused children don't immediately disclose the abuse. As a result, the abuse often escalates. There are many reasons for a child's silence: Perhaps the abuser says it's a secret. Maybe the child believes that he or she is at fault. Without being taught that his or her body has boundaries, a child may be too young to understand that the abuse is wrong. Parents often don't know when or how to approach this topic with their children. Written for 3-to-10-year-olds, My Body Belongs to Me is a tool that aims to facilitate this difficult discussion in a straightforward yet sensitive manner."
My Body Belongs to Me from My Head to My Toes (The Safe Child, Happy Parent Series)
by International Center for Assault Prevention Pro Familia Dagmar GeislerAs a child, there are constantly people trying to pick you up, hug you, or tickle you. Sometimes, though, children fall victims to people who try to touch them inappropriately. <P><P>But how do you tell someone, most likely an adult, that you don't want to be touched? Or, if it has already happened, how do you tell an adult you trust about what happened? You're only a child, and they're the adults. Why would they believe you?My Body Belongs to Me! is an educational tool to help instill confidence in children when it comes to their bodies. The narrative of the story is led by a girl named Clara, who encourages kids to say "no" if they are uncomfortable with physical contact. The narrator gives readers tips about what they can say or do to avoid unwanted physical contact, or how to tell the right people in the event it has already occurred. My Body Belongs to Me! is an invaluable resource that gives children a voice in uncomfortable situations. Suited for children ages 3 to 6, this should be in all doctor's offices, counselor's offices, and all parents should read to their preschool-aged children to teach them how to effectively say no to unwanted touching and how to report unwanted touching if it does occur.

My Bridges of Hope
by Livia Bitton-JacksonElli Friedmann was fourteen years old in April 1945 when American soldiers liberated her from her Nazi captors and the harrowing year she spent at Auschwitz and other concentration camps where Jews were mass murdered. At the opening of this book, Elli, her mother, and brother, recently reunited, return to their home in Czechoslovakia, expecting to pick up the lives they left behind. Instead, they confront the harsh realities of a house stripped bare, a town occupied by strangers, and the news that Daddy will never return. The anti-Semitism that still remains makes life there so oppressive that Elli and her family decide to immigrate to America -- a journey that will take six harrowing years of waiting in one temporary shelter after another. Along the way Elli builds bridges of hope for other Holocaust survivors. She rescues Jewish orphans from rioting Slovak partisans, smuggles Jewish refugees to Palestine, and becomes a headmaster of a Jewish school, all the while struggling with her nightmarish past and questions about her future. Her teenage years, which culminate in a daring escape from behind the Iron Curtain, are a dizzying merry-go-round of danger, excitement, and love. Thrilling, touching, and thought-provoking, this sequel to I Have Lived a Thousand Years offers a firsthand glimpse into post-war Europe. Elli's indomitable spirit shines through every page, making this an inspiring memoir.
