Some Parts are NOT for Sharing

Travel with a pair of friendly fish as they learn about what parts of our bodies we share with others. Children will learn what the boundaries of appropriate touching are in a very non-threatening way. Former School Counselor Julie Federico begins the imperative conversation of personal boundaries in Some Parts are not for Sharing. Children will enjoy learning about their bodies as they get some important information from a pair of fish. Parents will marvel at the simple straightforward language and use of sea creatures that create this message all children must hear. This book is also available in Spanish.

Julie Federico was a middle school counselor before she began writing children's services books. Her first book Some Parts are NOT for Sharing has sold more than 18,000 copies in the first four years of publication. She has a master's in counseling and educational psychology and was a first responder to the Columbine shootings in 1999. Her books "The Bad Guys" and "Students Can Help Keep Schools Safe" are dedicated to the victims of the Sandy Hook School shootings in Newtown, CT.
