“He asked for this night after night”

Your child hears these things every day…

These words are quietly becoming your child’s inner voice — the one that says “I’m not good enough” or “I can’t make a mistake” 😭
What you actually want is a child who feels secure on the inside so they can grow healthy relationships on the outside — at home, at school, and out in the world 💪🏻
This book set will help you do that 👇🏻

  •  BOOK 1: THE VOICE INSIDE 

    Their relationship with themselves

  •  BOOK 2: THE VOICE OUTSIDE 

    Their relationship with others

By the end of both books, your child will be able to say: “I know who I am and what I believe — no matter what anyone else says.”

A more inclusive bookshelf

Ever wished your children were exposed to different cultures? If so, you’ll love these books 😍

While the teachings are universal, the illustrations are rooted in an Asian cultural context — rich with the food, dress, and festivals that rarely make it onto a children’s shelf.

The bestselling book... Now available in Chinese!

The translated version — 别人可能会这样说,但我认为……! — gives parents the vocabulary to discuss Respectful Parenting concepts in Chinese – marking a truly groundbreaking literary work (with Hanyu Pinyin for extra support) 😉

别人可能会这样说,但我认为…… !aligns with the officially-approved rules of Pinyin orthography , where:

  • Words are presented as complete words, not as bro ken sy la bles 😉
  • Each sentence starts with a capital letter
  • Proper nouns are capitalised

Hanyu Pinyin ensures that your child (and you!) grasp the correct pronunciation of every word — eliminating guesswork and preventing pronunciation mistakes down the road.

FAQs

What age is the book set for?

Most of our customers buy the book set for children aged 12 and under. Babies and toddlers will enjoy the touching illustrations and repeated phrases, while older children will engage with the ideas more deeply.

That said, there’s no age limit on learning that your voice matters, your feelings are allowed, and you are loved!

Will teaching my child to say “no” make them rude or defiant?

A child can be respectful and still refuse a hug. The book set helps children express themselves, resist pressure, and disagree respectfully. You can still hold firm boundaries around safety, routines, and behaviour — while showing your child that affection isn’t something they owe anyone.

How do the books help teach body boundaries?

Book 2 tackles a familiar situation: “You must give me a hug, or I’ll be sad.”

It answers with: “You get to decide if and how your body gets touched.”

Other pages in the set explore peer pressure and reminds children that their voice matters.

Will the body-boundaries content scare my child?

The books use everyday situations — being asked for a hug, disagreeing with a friend at school, or being told to stop asking questions. They give you a way to talk about boundaries through familiar moments, without needing to invoke frightening scenarios.

How is this different from other children’s books?

Instead of teaching through abstract rules, this book set uses relatable, real-life scenarios and child-friendly language. It gives parents a natural way to talk about boundaries, feelings, and relationships without making the conversation feel scary or preachy.

What’s the difference between Book 1 and Book 2?

Book 1 explores self-worth, difficult emotions, body awareness, and having a voice — through phrases such as “Don’t cry”, “Failure is not an option”, and “Why can’t you be more like her?”.

Book 2 adds body boundaries, peer pressure, and blind obedience — through phrases like “You must give me a hug”, “If you don’t agree, I’m not your friend”, and “Stop asking so many questions and just do as you’re told”.

Each book can be enjoyed on its own; they don’t need to be read in order!

How should I read these books with my child?

Read them aloud together, whether at bedtime or whenever you have a quiet moment. Let your child notice the illustrations, ask questions, and return to their favourite pages. You don’t need to explain everything in one sitting —  just go at your child’s pace!

How long does each book take to read?

Each story is designed to take around 5 minutes — making it easy to include at bedtime or during a quick connection moment with your child.

Of course, if your child is drawn to certain illustrations or topics, and would like to linger on — the illustrations are deeply detailed and full of delightful surprises — do let them!

What’s included in the Parent Guides?

Each book includes a bonus 4-page Parent Guide, explaining the ideas behind the pages. The guides help parents and caregivers understand why a seemingly-innocent phrase may be unhelpful, and what you can say or do instead. This helps you continue the conversation beyond the book.

Can I mix and match the books in my set?

Yes. Choose any combination of the available titles and languages, including repeat copies — there is no required split.

Which languages are available?

Book 1 is available in English and Chinese. The Chinese edition includes hanyu pinyin to support pronunciation. Book 2 is currently available in English.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes — we ship worldwide, and shipping is free on every 3-book and 4-book set. Delivery after dispatch: Singapore 4 business days · US, UK, Australia, New Zealand 6 business days · Canada 8 business days. Orders are processed in batches.
