Partnership to help end the cycle of abuse
Capspace has partnered with author, illustrator, and child protection advocate, Melanie Jai, to distribute and raise awareness of her new children’s book, Little Lionheart.
Written for children, the book demonstrates a communication system that children can use to alert their carers that they need help without the use of words. Recognised by Kids Helpline as a valuable childhood protection resource for early childhood, the book also provides tangible steps carers can take if there are concerns for a child’s safety.
Aimed at empowering, informing, protecting, and supporting children to speak out against abuse, the book uses simple, easy to comprehend language and illustrations to help children understand and navigate the difficult pathway of getting help.
We understood the impact Melanie’s book could make in helping end the cycle of abuse. So, we were proud to fund the publishing of 2,000 Little Lionheart books and purchase of 1,000 to be given away for free to communities who need them most.
“Little Lionheart is a wonderful gift to the community. It offers parents and carers a valuable resource to help navigate a very difficult subject matter with their children.” – Tracy Adams, Kids Helpline CEO.
