Endorsements

“We are finding the books helpful for preparation for sex education lessons at the orphanage in Cambodia. Love the text and illustrations.”
Janette teacher

“I recommend your books wherever I go – at lectures for student teachers and professionals interstate; at a seminar and workshop for 150 parents and workers with children with disabilities a couple of weeks ago and in my child protection book for parents. Your books are perfect because the diagrams make sexuality and child protection education much easier."
