Synopsis

SINCE 1 IN 10 CHILDREN WILL BE SEXUALLY ABUSED BEFORE AGE 18, WHAT CAN PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, AND TEACHERS DO TO PROTECT KIDS FROM HARM?

“In The Brave Knight, Tarantini articulates incredibly complex child abuse grooming techniques/dynamics (ie. desensitizing physical contact, isolation from familial supports, love for perpetrators, disparity of social power), and somehow does it in an age-appropriate, non-threatening way. A brilliant, compelling, and inspiring resource for kids and those who love them.”
—Robert Peters: Senior Attorney at Zero Abuse Project, founder of Shield Task Force, and former prosecuting attorney

"In a small town hidden at the foot of a high mountain, there lived a young girl and a dragon who were best friends. Until they weren't."

Now you want to read The Brave Knight, right?

Through a fairytale-like story, The Brave Knight teaches kids about bullying and “grooming,” the process by which a sexual predator gains the trust of a potential victim, and sometimes their family.

The Brave Knight uses bold illustrations and an exciting story about a girl, a dragon, and a brave knight with a shield to show young readers what behaviors and language someone might use to persuade them to do things that are not okay. This book teaches your child to use their voice and speak up when something in their world makes them uncomfortable, a skill that will serve them all their life.

In addition, the back of the book features invaluable resources including:

• discussion questions
• extension activities
• directions for creating a personal safety plan
• a list of phone numbers for kids to call or text if they feel at risk

“Our girls want to read this story every night!” —Nick K, physical therapist

“Sensitively written and perfectly illustrated, The Brave Knight is a tremendous resource for broaching delicate but relevant and important conversations with kids about abusive behavior. You need to own a copy!” —Sue, writer

“This book puts on display the full range of feelings that ‘grooming’ by a trusted person will trigger, and explicitly addresses how to find it in yourself to take the steps to rebound from the betrayal and gaslighting that grooming is, then take the brave action that will protect yourself and others.” —Amy, college professor

“The book uses a simple story about a girl and a dragon to educate kids about what grooming looks and feels like, and there are resources in the back for those who need help.” —Kristi D, birth-to-three occupational therapist

Diane Tarantini's children’s book, The Brave Knight, stands out among sexual abuse prevention and body safety books because the story shows and tells a child what “grooming” and/or abuse looks like, sounds like, and feels like. Then the resources in the back of the book deepen their knowledge and awareness of the topic. The list of various helplines to text or call when you have a question or feel at-risk will be useful to kids for years to come.
