Das grosse und das kleine NEIN!

Picture book, children's book for parents, educators, teachers, children, and students in kindergartens and elementary schools.

"We children sometimes have a really hard time with adults! They ask if they can do something, you politely and quietly say no! And what happens? They don't listen at all and do it anyway. Sometimes you have to be clear."

The story of the big and small no is meant to encourage children to confidently express their feelings and needs, especially when it comes to their bodily autonomy. The read-aloud story for your classroom or in a kindergarten discussion group deals with saying no in various situations from the perspective of a small child, for example, when one prefers to sit alone on a bench, when one doesn’t want to give chocolate to a stranger, or when one does not want to receive a kiss.

Here, it is important for kindergarten children and students to set boundaries and say no loudly and clearly. This children's book is excellent for violence prevention in daycare and kindergarten and as teaching material in schools. It is also frequently used by parents at home to promote social learning and to prevent sexual abuse. The appendix includes additional educational tips and suggestions for parents, educators, and teachers on how to use the book.
