Synopsis

Who Gets on My Mat? is a gentle and meaningful children's story about personal space, boundaries, trust, and the powerful idea that every child deserves to feel safe.

Meet Sanders, a thoughtful young boy with a very special yoga mat. To someone else, it might look like an ordinary mat. But to Sanders, his mat is much more than a place to stretch, sit, or play. It is his space. It is a place where he can slow down, take a breath, listen to his feelings, and decide what feels comfortable to him.

And Sanders has an important question.

Who gets on my mat?

Thankfully, Sanders has Kloe by his side. Kloe is his loving Golden Retriever with beautiful fairy wings and a heart as gentle as can be. She is Sanders' loyal companion, quiet encourager, and trusted friend. Together, Sanders and Kloe begin to discover something every child should know.

Not everyone automatically gets a place on your mat.

Some people make us feel comfortable and safe. Some people need to ask before coming closer. Sometimes we want company. Sometimes we need space. And sometimes a person we welcomed yesterday may not be someone we want on our mat today.

That is okay.

Through Sanders and Kloe's sweet journey, children are introduced to the idea of boundaries in a way that is simple, visual, and easy to understand. The yoga mat becomes a gentle representation of a child's personal space. It gives young readers something they can see and imagine while learning that their bodies, feelings, and comfort matter.

The story encourages children to recognize the people they trust, listen to the feelings inside their bodies, and understand that they are allowed to speak when something does not feel right. It also helps children learn an equally important lesson about respecting the boundaries of others.

Kloe never needs Sanders to explain why he needs space. She simply stays nearby, reminding him that someone who truly cares about you can respect your boundary without leaving you alone.

Who Gets on My Mat? opens the door for meaningful conversations between children and the grown ups who care for them. Parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors, caregivers, and other trusted adults can use Sanders' mat as a simple way to talk about consent, personal space, trusted relationships, emotions, and speaking up.

Most importantly, this is not a story designed to frighten children.

It is a story designed to empower them.

With warmth, imagination, and the comforting friendship between a boy and his magical Golden Retriever, Who Gets on My Mat? reminds every child of something worth carrying far beyond the final page:

Your space belongs to you.

Your feelings matter.

You can change your mind.

You are allowed to say when you need space.

And you get to decide...

Who gets on your mat?
