Don’t Touch Me There

Don’t Touch Me There is an empowering body safety book for children created by Jennifer Rambert, a grandmother from North Charleston, South Carolina. This thoughtfully written guide helps children understand body boundaries and inappropriate touching in a gentle, age-appropriate manner.

The book serves as an essential resource for families, providing children with the vocabulary and confidence to recognize unsafe situations and speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
