The We Say What’s Okay Complete 6-Book Set helps young children build essential social-emotional skills by exploring consent in developmentally appropriate, everyday terms. Centered around a diverse classroom of preschoolers, this thoughtful series introduces core concepts like paying attention to how our bodies feel, reading body language, asking for and listening to choices, and understanding that every body has value and deserves respect.
Each story features believable, everyday situations that allow children to see themselves, and others reflected in the characters and experiences on the page. Through clear, accessible language and supportive interactions, children begin to develop the vocabulary and confidence to express their feelings, honor others’ boundaries, and understand consent as a shared experience rooted in respect and communication.
To make learning even more engaging, every book is accompanied by a song from Peaceful Schools, complete with downloadable audio files and sheet music. These musical elements provide joyful reinforcement of key themes and offer teachers and caregivers creative ways to extend the lessons beyond the page.
Perfect for preschool classrooms, read-aloud moments, small-group discussions, or home sharing; this complete set supports both emotional learning and early communication development. The series invites children to practice recognizing sensations, asking for permission, checking in with friends, responding compassionately to “no,” and understanding they are in charge of their own bodies—all while strengthening connection, empathy, and respectful interaction.
