Short Summary

The Things We Can’t Unsee is a book about pornography written by Kerri Isham for kids aged 8 to 12.

What This Book Is About

In this digital age, kids are always online and therefore have bigger chances to come across sexually-explicit material than ever before. Whether it’s intentional or not, seeing porn can have long-term harmful effects on a child’s brain. Through this book, kids can learn more about why porn is unhealthy and what to do when they come across it.

The book shares messages to kids, such as:

  • There are things you see online that just cannot be unseen.
  • The internet is a good resource but it also contains bad things.
  • It’s normal to feel funny or uncomfortable when seeing sexually explicit material.
  • Porn can change the way one thinks and acts, the same way that a disease can infect the mind and body.
  • It’s important to have trusted adults you can talk to and ask questions from.

Reflection and Comments

This book doesn’t just aim to educate kids, but their parents and carers as well. It helps kids and their trusted adults have healthy conversations about sex, porn and other topics.
