Jilly Silverbell Doesn’t Want to Play Tag

At recess, everyone wants to play tag-except Jilly Silverbell. She’d rather make dandelion crowns. So when a friend tags her anyway, Jilly feels a gurgle in her tummy that stays with her the rest of the day. She wishes she could just say no, but it’s difficult when the words seem to stick in her throat. Fortunately with some help from her dad and their dog Tally, Jilly finds the confidence to speak up. Jilly Silverbell Doesn’t Want to Play Tag teaches concepts of body safety, bodily autonomy, and consent in a gentle, kid-friendly, and developmentally sensitive way, empowering children to use their voices to stay safe and comfortable.
