Eight year old Trina knows how powerful and magical touch can be.
Trina has learned a lot about touch from her dad, a massage therapist, who accompanies her through the story. Trina has witnessed wonderful displays of physical touch in her family and has had her own special experiences with touch. She and her dad make a point to describe the Three Gold Stars that are the foundation for positive touch: Trust, Consent, and Sharing. Along the way, readers also get to meet Trina's mother, grandparents, brother Cole, best friend Jeanne, and teacher Miss Gruder.
Powerful Magical Touch is a positive story focusing on the wonder and joy of touch. The book describes in plain language what conditions are necessary for touch to be healthful, and it does so without succumbing to fear tactics or binary ("good versus bad") messaging.
