With its infectious refrain, this powerful picture book affirms every child's right to set boundaries – and take charge of their own bodies, voices and choices.

“A perfect picture book to introduce consent and boundaries.” Book Riot
“Children take ownership of their bodies through repeated affirmations. A colourful and effective take on consent.” Kirkus Reviews
“A great book to share with a young reader heading into the school year.” People Magazine

Who’s in charge of your giggle? I am!
Who’s in charge of your wiggle? I am!
Who’s in charge of your face? I am!
Who’s in charge of your space? I am!

With playfulness and a powerful sense of confidence, the children in this book proclaim who is in charge of their lips, their hips, their eyes, their thighs, their nose, their toes, their voice and their choice. “I AM!” comes the response that little readers will echo loudly and happily.

From Stephanie Allain Bray and Jenny Klion, debut authors who are longtime friends and activists for equity in Hollywood, comes an invigorating anthem brought to colourful life in the energetic artwork of Marissa Valdez.
