Yours Only

A charming vintage-style board book that explores the body and its five senses, while subtly also introducing little ones early on to intimacy and consent.

 

“Look at your mouth and its contours. With it, you can… Shout with joy or speak softly. Taste, savour, or spit it all out! Give a kiss if you want to.”

 

Throughout the pages, the different senses are explored — sight, taste, touch, hearing, smell — before expanding to the whole body and its wonderful possibilities that everyone should cherish.

 

 

IN THE MEDIA

 

"This gentle board book invites young children to discover their bodies and their five senses — sight, taste, hearing, touch, and smell — while subtly introducing the themes of body privacy and consent. The soft, slightly retro-style illustrations depict babies of different genders and diverse backgrounds, giving the book a universal appeal and delivering an essential message from the earliest age." - Biblioteca
