Fuchsia MacAree.
UK-based sex and relationships educator Hancock offers an accessible, positive, down-to-earth introduction to agency and consent, not only as they apply to physical and sexual situations but also as tools to strengthen all kinds of relationships. Bold design built around MacAree's colorful artwork helps underscore humorous moments and emphasize key points. This is a non-threatening way to make abstract concepts not only understandable but also engaging to consider and discuss. A glossary and list of resources concludes the book.
