PRE-ORDER NEW RELEASE: My Special Body: A First Book About Personal Safety

Bracha Goetz does it again! Building off the tremendous success of her previous works, especially her classic “Talking About Personal Privacy,” she now provides us with a book that introduces personal safety to our youngest children in a sensitive, calm, and empowering manner.

It should be blessed with hatzlacha. This is a very important book!

I believe this is a must read for every child, in every home. The foundational concepts of child safety are woven into this book in such a positive, joyful way while providing parents with an easy start to these vital conversations.

These books are very important, and they should be matzliach. Hatzlacha rabba!

This book offers a gentle approachable introduction to the crucial topic of body safety.  It is deeply valuable for children to have tools that empower them to understand their personal space and to know when to ask for help.

Bracha Goetz’s books continue to be my go to guide for healthy, Torah true lessons geared toward my children and clients. This book is no exception. This is the first book I have seen about body safety successfully geared towards preschool age level. This book is clear, kosher, and empowering for our smallest children. I highly recommend it for parents and professionals alike!

As an LCSW working closely with young children and families, I deeply appreciate how this book brings crucial safety concepts to very young children in a gentle, engaging, and age-appropriate way. It fills an important need in the Jewish community and empowers families to start these conversations early and with confidence.

This is a very important book for parents to read with their children at the appropriate time.

Safety conversations don’t need to feel dramatic or forced. In this book, Mrs. Goetz shows how everyday moments—getting dressed, discussing candy, visiting the doctor, or swim time—can become natural opportunities to plant the seeds of safety and build lifelong awareness in children.

Thank you Bracha Goetz for knocking it out of the ballpark again with an apropos personal safety book that is relevant, and appropriate, while specific at the same time for children. I'm always happy to add safety related books to my collection to help give over relevant crucial lessons to my children.

A colorful, clever, and credible way to give our youngest of children an early education on body safety.

This book is short, sweet and to the point for young children about the safety of their bodies. The concepts are shared in an age appropriate way for the young children. 

Reading this with my younger kids was so enjoyable and opened the door to some meaningful conversations around body safety. Breaking this topic down into versions that are appropriate for all ages and stages is so critical to providing a sensitive and effective education on this important topic. This is a great tool for parents!

Our community is lucky to have this book to guide parents in discussing this sensitive and highly important topic with their young children. The ideas are conveyed clearly and in a refined manner, using a Torahdig lense. Highly recommend!

It's a wonderful book & the rhyming along with the pictures makes it really fun! Kudos for including children with disabilities and making our frum world more inclusive.

Reading My Special Body together is a meaningful way to open age-appropriate conversations with young children about body safety and awareness. It reinforces essential messages that every child should begin to hear and explore, even the littlest of readers.

My Special Body is both impactful and engaging, helping parents begin the vital conversation with their children about body safety. Who better than Bracha Goetz to share such an important lesson in a clear, warm, and child-friendly way?

A much-needed asset to any children’s library, this book creates a natural opening to discuss body safety with young children in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way.

This is beautifully written and illustrated with a clear and important purpose and message, vital for all children to learn and know!

Amazing book about body safety for toddlers and young children! The message is clear and empowering. Highly recommended for all parents and educators of little ones. Early education is the most powerful tool we have to protect our children.
