Marc starts his first week of kindergarten but insists on only wearing clothes that make him feel safe. He is protecting a big secret that his overalls keep buried away. Marc believes the power of his gentle green overalls keep him from telling his secrets and staying out of "big trouble." What happens if he can't wear his overalls? Will his secret still be safe?
Gentle Green Overalls provides an opportunity for children and their caregivers to talk about the sensitive topic of inappropriate touch and body safety. While the topic is challenging, statistics show that children need this conversation with loving adults to equip them with the tools they need to prevent, confront, or respond to attempts of sexual abuse. Gentle Green Overalls gives children and adults a medium to use their voices for justice.
