About What If?
With diverse and colourful characters, beautiful illustrations and an engaging rhyming format, take a walk through different scenarios related to important topics of consent and body boundaries with one powerful question: “What if?”
Exploring key skills such as personal space, emotions and safe and unsafe touches, this book is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years and aims to empower them to protect and take charge of their own bodies.
Also included is a comprehensive discussion guide for parents, educators and caregivers to help them navigate tough conversations.
What if? is the first publication by makchic, a trusted source and voice for Malaysian parents. makchic has organised events and workshops addressing sexuality education and child sexual abuse prevention, and this book is a continuation of our efforts to support and uplift all families in their quest to parent well, learn well, and live well.
