Overview

Sometimes I want to be alone. I don't want anyone to see me, hear me, or come too close. That's called privacy-and everyone needs it now and then. From finding a quiet corner to read, to whispering secrets with a best friend, to staying safe online, this warm and reassuring book helps children ages 4-6 understand what privacy means and why it matters. Through relatable moments and engaging illustrations, young readers learn that privacy isn't just about keeping secrets-it's about having space for their own thoughts, feelings, and special moments. Perfect for starting conversations about personal boundaries, body autonomy, and digital safety, the book website includes discussion prompts and resources for parents and educators at privacypleasebook.com.
