Welcome to Litsy!

Different book than tagged but same author. I happened to see this one at the library and thought it would be interesting to check out. It's a young person's primer on consent in comic form (comic like with panels, not comic with humor). The two points that hit are consent = communication and that both girls and boys are dealing with pressures to move further/faster than they'd like. Very well done, seems super young but accessible for that.

We had an issue in our school where a boy did not believe women pubic hair because he had never seen any porn. It‘s really worrisome that these teenagers have access to porn videos and GIFs without really understanding how fake that genre can be.

This short graphic novel is a great introduction to what consent is and isn't. It's straight forward &honest, perfect for young teens (think Jr. High), but really everyone could use a refresher on this topic.

There are some good discussion questions at the back of the book as well that can lead to some much needed conversations.
