“Written by Kimberly King and her son Zack, I Said No! is based on Zack's real experience. Dangerous situations are illustrated in a practical, but not a graphic, way, and the book offers tots advice about what they should say and do if they ever find themselves in one. After each section, there's a question for adults to discuss with their child.” —Popsugar

“Zack and his mother, Kimberly King wrote this fantastic book to encourage child safety and prevent problematic incidents and situations in a language comprehensible to children. The difficulties of communication between adult and child is a common issue, especially when the topic is about prevention of harm. Well, no worries, Zack is here to the rescue, bringing a kid’s perspective and communication style to the hard topic of healthy boundaries and body safety. The illustration and written text help many adult supporters with dialogue and discussion. I Said No! has a variety of situations and scenarios that will help bring clarity, understanding regarding how to keep a child safe.” — StopTheHurt, a project of the Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center
