Mia's Magnificent Body Map: A Story About Your Body, Your Feelings, and Your Voice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258544155)

Does your child know their body belongs to them?

Mia loves splashing in puddles, dancing in the kitchen, and eating toast with too much butter. And Mia loves her body - every magnificent part of it.

In this warm, empowering picture book, Mia learns that her body is hers, that her private parts are private, and that she always gets to choose what happens to her body. When a relative asks for a hug she doesn't want to give, and when a friend touches her hair without asking, Mia finds her voice - kindly, bravely, and clearly.

Mia's Magnificent Body Map opens gentle, age-appropriate conversations about body safety, consent and trusted adults - without fear, shame or over-complication. Because the best time to give children the language they need is before they need it.

This book covers:

• Body autonomy - your body belongs to you
• Private parts and what makes them private
• Safe touch versus unsafe touch
• Consent - asking before touching someone else
• Saying no to unwanted affection - even from family
• Trusted adults and why it is always safe to tell

Perfect for:

• Children aged 3-6 reading with a parent or carer
• Starting body safety conversations at home before they become urgent
• Nursery, Reception and early primary school settings
• Families wanting to introduce correct anatomical language naturally and without shame
• Gifting to a family with young children - a book that does real, lasting good

A full Parent and Carer Guide is included at the back of the book, with talking points for every key page, guidance on reinforcing the messages at home, and signposting to further support.

Also in The Big Stuff series: Max's Magnificent Body Map - the same story told through a mixed heritage boy, because boys need body safety education too.

The best time to start this conversation is now.
