CONSENT

Consent is something that can be expressed, informed, applied, and, with clear examples, this guide shows what consent means and what it can look like. Sometimes a situation is clear, as with being touched, but blurrier examples include borrowing something or sharing someone else’s story. A mixed delivery engages readers with illustrations, comics, quizzes, Q&As, and lists of do’s and don’ts. This ensures the book never feels dense; it has both good pacing and opportunities to pause and contemplate the information being shared. Using these different formats, the book offers tools while building on understanding. When it explores what it means to be a witness, for instance, the quiz presents five different levels of intervention that one could take, showing that all could be correct depending on the situation. Written with a Canadian audience in mind, the text mentions that the age of consent in Canada is 16 but not other countries’ or jurisdictions’. Canadian resources are given but are Toronto-heavy. Illustrations show a diverse cast of skin tones and abilities.

Thanks for reading.
