Specification Providing international standard sex education to Japanese children and adults

This is a sex education picture book created through crowdfunding by two mothers with girls in France. It is a good book that covers topics ranging from the structure of the body to human rights education such as puberty, gender identity, sexual orientation, sexual consent, and love, and has been recognized for its public benefit, receiving a certification mark from UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). This book talks about the topic of sex education, which Japanese people have difficulty with, correctly and without taboos, and clearly teaches the essence of dignity, giving children who will soon enter society the strength to live freely in the future. We are publishing a Japanese version of this good book, which became a bestseller immediately after its release in Japan, so that Japanese children and adults can also get their hands on it.
