PHOENIX, June 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- After walking through the devastation of sexual abuse in her own family, Allison Schmitt wanted to do everything possible to prevent this tragedy from happening to other children and families. This inspired her to write "My Body is MY Body" (published by WestBow Press), a simple rhyming book that equips parents with a tool to talk to their children about body safety.
"Many children and families have been affected by sexual abuse. It affects everyone, not just the child," the author states. "This topic needs to be discussed in the open to protect our children. Adults need to be informed about child sexual abuse and need to speak up so that we can keep our children safe."
"My Body is MY Body" is a fun book with simple rhymes but a big message. It aims to teach preschool and school-age children to have control of their own bodies and empowers them to use their voice to prevent sexual abuse. There are also resource pages in the back to help parents navigate this difficult, yet vitally important topic.
