This is a great teaching resource that invites teacher educators, pre-service, and in-service teachers into important and timely conversations that are going on in K-12 schools every day. The short essays are great for in-class assignments, easy after-school professional learning, and focused enough to open up critical conversations about what these issues mean to educators in their daily lives. They also give readers specific language to use in response to harmful talk about bodies, gender, sexuality, sex, and relationships used by children and youth.

A smart, provocative, and sometimes uncomfortable book about parenting and mentoring children and teens to be confident and knowledgeable about their own bodies and in their relationships with others. Readers will be taken on a journey through 101 stories, essays, and poems that highlight ethical commitments like consent and bodily autonomy, and analyze forces shaping youth lives such as porn, social media, and the violent language used for sexual intimacy.

This book is fabulous for parents, mentors, educators, or any other grown-up who wants to be a powerful force for good in the lives of young people.
