their story belongs to them

Through playful characters and relatable moments, kids learn that it's okay to set boundaries when faced with nosy or intrusive questions. Using the WITS strategy -

- the book gives children practical tools to protect their privacy while building confidence and self-respect.
Told through the voice of a foster child but written for
all children
, this book reassures young readers that their voice matters, their feelings are valid, and they are always in control of what they choose to share.
A supportive resource for parents, caregivers, and educators,
The Moose and the Menace
opens the door to important conversations about boundaries, empowerment, and respect.
