I like “Where Hands Go” because it is colorfully illustrated and concisely written about the relevancy of “safe and unsafe touch”. This topic runs the gamut of being appropriate for various ages; however “Where Hands Go” was very age appropriate for my four year old granddaughter. The message of “safe and unsafe touch” is encapsulated in a poem with just the right rhythm and catchiness that my lil girlie can comprehend her body boundaries even at this early age! My experiences and those of many others validate how important it to start sharing and teach about “safe and unsafe touch” as soon as it age appropriately to do so. She enjoyed the read from her Bibi and asked me to read it to her again. I love reading to my granddaughter anyway and what a comfort it is to promote literacy and her safety in such a cute book!

The vibrancy of the illustrations, simplicity of the message, and length of the book is excellent. I read it to my 4-yr old, and the book provided a good foundation to discuss this topic. My daughter was able to understand it, and talk about it very easily. Good read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good intro - conversation starter
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book was loved by my 3 year old but I wish I would’ve known it was ONLY an intro. It didn’t include any specific language about safe/ not safe touches. It merely mentioned that there is a difference. My child is starting preschool this year and I wanted something simple to reinforce what I’ve taught her. This was not it. HOWEVER the next book in the series was a lot more helpful. It rhymes and discusses different scenarios to empower children to take ownership of their bodies.

So if you’re looking for something more specific, try the next book in the series. If you’re looking for a conversation starter, this book would be more appropriate. Overall great illustrations and easy language for young children. A good tool for any parent looking to educate their child about consent and safe touching.

This was a gift. I looked through it and was disappointed the book only referred to mommy. Cute book but My son is a single dad. We want our little one to know daddy is a safe person too. I went to return it and they said could keep it and would refund. Impressed!

"Where Hands Go" caught my eye on Instagram because of my work as a trauma therapist. I often am teaching kids about safe and unsafe touch and like a multitude of resources to have available depending on the age and the type of kiddo I had! "Where Hands Go" is a great book for very young children. It's short, concise, but gets the message across regarding what safe touch is, and provides examples. I do wish the same had happened with "when hands roamed," but this can serve as a pause for me to ask my kids what that could look like!

I'd recommend to anyone doing short-term therapy or abbreviated sessions (15 min) with children. Because of its length, it makes it easy to turn back to multiple times and reference/review too!

Doesn’t really teach anything about where hands shouldn’t go just says they shouldn’t ‘stray’ which doesn’t really mean anything to kids. Returning.

Reviewed in Canada on January 14, 2023

I had high hopes for this book as a racialized mother. It does open the conversation to have with your child however it leaves many questions and things hanging... perhaps that is the intention, not to put ideas into your child's head however as these topics can be taboo, I was looking for a resource that would directly address inappropriate touching. I feel that the end of the book could have been more detailed or clear.
