A taste of what's inside: No. Go. Tell.

  • NO! Say no loudly, in your big, strong voice. You are allowed to say it, even to a grown-up.
  • GO! Go away fast. Move to a safe place and look for a grown-up you trust.
  • TELL! Tell a trusted adult right away, even if you feel scared. If one adult does not listen, tell another one.

Print on letter-size cardstock, cut along the coloured borders and read one or two cards together each day.
