Sexe, ce drôle de mot by Fiona Smyth, Cory Silverberg
4.0
I wanted to read this book after I discovered that parents wanted to forbid it from libraries in an other canadian province. Of course it brings the discussion about listening to yourself and using the pronouns that give you the opportunity to be your trueself. I thought this book had simple drawings and choice of words for young kids to understand it.
For the chapter about the "touchés secret" (secret touchings) this book deserves to be read by ALL KIDS. It explained that if someone touch you in you "parties du milieu" (middle parts aka boobs, genitals, butt) and you feel inconfortable and they say it has to say 'a secret': it's wrong and you should find a person you trust to talk about it. Because it's not ok.
I dont' understand the parents who wanted to forbid this book, because if you want to protect your kids, they need to read it. So that they know they are not the problem, and they can find help. By forbidding this book, it only protecting the abusers and give them permission to keep going.
