Touch Is Really Strange by Steve Haines

4.0

I came into this not really knowing what to expect, beyond an exploration of the concept of touch. However, I was really impressed by the ways this short (32 page) graphic novel touched (pun intended) on consent and boundaries, trauma awareness, and therapeutic methods. Additionally, the artwork is beautiful, making this a very pleasant read and there were a few exercises that made the book feel more interactive. I would really highly recommend this to people working with middle and lower-high school students (6-10th grade) who want a way to explain consent and touch boundaries interpersonally and medically.
