My Boundaries Are Brave: A journey through the forest of bravery, boundaries, and using your voice

By: Geddes, Krystal

My Boundaries Are Brave is a picture book for children aged 18 months to Pre-K that introduces body autonomy, consent, and personal boundaries through rhyme, affirmation, and illustration. Rooted in social-emotional learning, the book builds foundational SEL skills, including self-awareness, emotional literacy, and the confidence to communicate needs and limits. Set in an enchanted forest, a young hedgehog navigates friendship and personal space with the help of animal companions, learning that saying "no" is brave, that feelings deserve to be honored, and that every voice, even the smallest one, holds power. A letter to caregivers opens the book, grounding the story in trauma-informed prevention education and inviting adults into the conversation. Written by social worker, scholar, and advocate Krystal Geddes, the book equips young children with early language for boundaries and consent while giving caregivers a practical, gentle tool for starting these conversations before harmful experiences occur.
