Can I Give You a Kiss?: A Sweet Story about Asking For and Giving Consent
by Soline Bourdeverre-VeyssiereA beautifully illustrated story designed to start the much-needed conversation about consent. Cassie is a little girl full of life and imagination who loves singing, playing in mud, dancing, and especially reading. Today, she reads a story about kissing to an audience of her stuffed animals and toys. She answers all of their assumed questions while she reads: Who can I kiss? Who can kiss me? How should a kiss make me feel? Are there different types of kisses? How do I ask if I can kiss someone? How do I say no if I don't want to be kissed? This children&’s book discusses consent in a sweet and open way so that both children and adults can better understand how to respect one another when it comes to giving kisses and hugs. Teaching today&’s children (and tomorrow&’s adults) about consent is critical to the development of their self-respect and their respect for other people. But this sometimes also requires teaching today&’s adults that they can't steal a nonconsensual kiss from a child just because they are a child. Information at the back of Can I Give You a Kiss? will help parents and caregivers teach consent to the children and adults in their lives.
