“Quite suitable for young boys to read – to understand the dangers they may encounter in life, the dangers they may pose to others, not to act impulsively, to learn to discern and protect themselves, and more importantly, to learn respect and reason, to say no and ignore, and to trust their parents and communicate more.”
—— Douban Reader

“I've read both the girls' and boys' volumes in this series. It feels like the girls' volume focuses more on teaching how to protect oneself, while the boys' volume not only teaches self‑protection but also addresses how not to harm others.”
—— Douban Reader

★ A rare self‑help comic for boys' sexual safety and accident prevention, filling a niche in gender‑specific safety education. Against the backdrop of significantly underreported male child victims in sexual abuse cases, this is one of the few comic books on the domestic market specifically designed for boys aged 6–12 on sexual safety and accident prevention. “Don't say boys are safe – boys need to learn to protect themselves too!” The book centers on sexual safety and accident prevention, covering privacy protection, boundaries in opposite‑sex interactions, sexual abuse prevention, and campus violence prevention.

★ Authored by a team of authoritative experts in accordance with national guidelines. Developed according to the Guidelines for Public Safety Education in Primary and Secondary Schools, the book is jointly written and reviewed by multiple experts in medical care, emergency response, information networks, public safety, and campus safety – including National Vocational Qualification Emergency Rescue Instructor Gao Bo, Associate Chief Physician Dr. Zhu Chenfang of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, senior cybersecurity expert Zhang Fuyang, fire rescue expert Zhang Yi, and veteran elementary school principal Li Danmei.

★ Real cases presented in comics with a “5‑step” self‑help process. The 36 scenarios are based on real cases disclosed by judicial authorities, using original comics to recreate dangerous situations boys may encounter. Each scenario follows a five‑step process: “real‑life simulation – potential dangers – wrong responses – correct responses – special clarification.” Every safety tip comes with a key sentence, and review questions at the end reinforce learning.

Dedicated to every boy who needs to learn to protect himself.

“Boys won't be taken advantage of” – this is the biggest misconception many parents have about boys' safety. Research shows that the prevalence rate of sexual abuse among Chinese boys is as high as 13.8%, very close to the 15.3% rate among girls. Boys need to learn to protect themselves just as much – and they also need to learn to respect others and not become the ones who cause harm. Primary School Comics: Safety – Boys' Safety is designed precisely for this purpose – a self‑help comic book that makes parental guidance embarrassment‑free and boys' reading blush‑free, helping boys prevent sexual abuse, avoid accidental injuries, and stay safe from campus violence.

This book is specifically designed for boys aged 6–12. It is divided into two main sections, comprising 5 chapters and 36 safety training scenarios.

The first half focuses on boys' sexual safety, progressing through three chapters. Chapter 1 helps boys build awareness of sexual privacy and learn to know and protect their bodies. Chapter 2 focuses on interacting with the opposite sex – teaching boys how to deal with girls their own age and adult women, both to prevent sexual abuse and to avoid violating others. Chapter 3 focuses on guarding against “creepy uncles” and other potential dangers, staying alert to pedophiles and similar threats.

The second half addresses common accidental injuries and campus violence issues boys face, helping them avoid accidental dangers, refuse school bullying, and learn self‑protection from the source.

The 36 scenarios in the book are adapted from real cases disclosed by judicial authorities. Each scenario features vivid comics and a key safety sentence. Every chapter includes a “Chat with a Safety Expert” section, featuring professional guidance from experts in medical care, fire rescue, education, and other fields. The book follows a “5‑step” self‑help process – “real‑life simulation – potential dangers – wrong responses – correct responses – special clarification” – ensuring that children can understand, learn, and remember.

When every boy knows that “my body belongs to me,” when every inappropriate touch can be recognized and rejected in time, and when every child learns to respect others and not become a perpetrator – they can grow up with more safety and less fear.
