Pee-pee! Willy! Weenie! Ding-a-ling! Weiner... that’s the topic you say? Yes, we’re discussing privacy today!

Understanding one’s body
Privacy
Self-respect and respect of others
Diversity - no two are the same!

Why a book about private parts?
Early in her public health career, author Brooke Bates was a reproductive health educator. The number one question she got from parents was this: "When do we start the conversation about the birds and the bees?" Her answer? It starts when they're born! For younger children it's age appropriate to discuss the names of our body parts and discuss how they help our bodies function. Parents will love that THE WIENER BOOK is an easy foray into this topic, while the kids will love that it brings the giggles. Try it - we dare you not to laugh!
