You Can Say No

You Can Say No is an age-appropriate children's book that supports social-emotional learning by teaching body autonomy, personal boundaries, and self-advocacy. Rather than relying on fear-based "stranger danger" messaging, this book helps children recognize unsafe or confusing behaviors and encourages them to seek support from trusted adults.

Written by a Licensed Independent Social Worker, You Can Say No is well-suited for elementary classrooms, counseling settings, libraries, and home reading, and supports healthy communication between children and caregivers.
