Critics Review

‘This book is bursting with brilliant helpful tips and tricks… If knowledge is power then this is the book to read. The information in Welcome to Consent is delivered in a really refreshing way that is devoid of judgement, blame and not prudish or embarrassing, cringy or out-dated.’ –Children’s Books Daily.

‘Impressively comprehensive… The overarching message is that everyone deserves to set their own boundaries and have them respected. ★★★★★’ –Commonsense Media

Thanks to Yumi Stynes and Dr Melissa Kang we finally have the book that can help every young person navigate consent in a healthy way. This book needs to be in the hands of every single young person ages 10 and up. It has the power to change the conversation around consent, make interactions safer and give young people clear guidance on what positive relationships look like… Utterly indispensable.’ –Readings

‘By exploring different ways of communicating yes and no, talking about consent with others, managing uncertainty, and acknowledging the freedom to change your mind, this handbook provides opportunities to build confidence and bolster personal autonomy. The authors cover the ways consent can be difficult, such as when there is fear of disappointing others or hurting feelings; how power dynamics, shyness, or feeling inexperienced can impact situations; and how society and culture have made it hard to talk about consent… overall this volume is thorough and empowering.’ –Kirkus
