Short Summary

What is Consent, Why is It Important & Other Big Questions was written by Louise Spilsbury and Yas Necati for readers aged 9 to 14.

What This Book Is About

Consent covers a lot of ground, from understanding the importance of privacy and personal space, to laying down strict boundaries for safety. It is one of the most basic foundations of body safety and healthy relationships.

But consent is not just a matter of saying yes or no; there are a lot of aspects to consider before one can truly understand the concept of consent.

This book answers commonly asked questions like:

  • What is consent?
  • Why is consent important?
  • Does “yes” always mean “yes”?
  • How can you give consent?

Reflection and Comments

The book reinforces to readers that consent is not always vocal, but can also be seen through body language. It shares this message and helps expound on the topic further through the views of different people that the authors talked to. Each person then shares their understanding of consent, how they communicate their feelings, and how they deal with people who do not respect them.
