Book 4: The Boundary Book – Become a Founding Reader

Price range: £5.00 through £20.00

For five years I couldn’t write this book.

In 2020, after the murder of Sarah Everard, I became determined to write a children’s book about consent.

I started. Stopped. Started again. Stopped again.

Every time I opened the document, I froze.

I thought I was trying to write a children’s book about consent. What I eventually realised was that children don’t start with consent. They start with boundaries.

“Don’t take my toy.”

“I don’t want a hug.”

“Please stop.”

Book 4: The Boundary Book (working title) is currently being written. If you’d like to follow the journey and support the project from the very beginning, I’d love you to become one of its Founding Readers.

Join the journey and receive:

• Updates on the writing process
• Sneak peeks behind the scenes
• Exclusive news as Book 4 takes shape
• The chance to help bring an important children’s book into the world

If you’ve ever wished children were taught about boundaries a little earlier, I’d love your help bringing this story to life.

Description

Book 4: The Boundary Book

For years I thought I couldn’t write this book.

Every time I sat down to write a story about consent, I found myself looking at the world through adult eyes. I was thinking about the difficult headlines we read in the news…

Then last week, after five years of staring at the same document, the penny finally dropped.

I wasn’t struggling to write a book about consent.

I was struggling because children aren’t thinking about consent.

They’re thinking:

“Stop tickling me.”

“Give me back my toy.”

“I don’t want a hug.”

They’re learning about boundaries.

And that’s the book I’ve finally realised I need to write.

Children are learning about boundaries.

They are learning that their voice matters.

They are learning that they can say no.

They are learning that other people can say no too.

And that’s where this story begins.

Book 4: The Boundary Book (working title) is the fourth children’s book from Thea Chops Books and explores boundaries, choice, respect and personal space through a child-friendly rhyming story.

The book is currently being written and illustrated

By becoming a Founding Reader, you’ll be joining the journey from first draft to finished book.

As a Founding Reader you’ll receive:

If you’ve enjoyed my previous books, or if you believe children deserve the language and confidence to understand healthy boundaries, I’d love you to come along for the journey.

We have to teach children about this before the internet teaches them something worse.

Thank you for being here.
