Advance Praise
“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

The difficulties of communication between adult and child is a common issue, especially when the topic is about prevention of harm.
