Tammy Rampersaud publishes children’s books tackling body autonomy, boundaries, healing, and more | Pickle Planet Podcast S8E20
It’s always a privilege when someone feels comfortable enough to open up in our studio. We’ve welcomed Tammy Rampersaud to the show before, sharing about her life in politics and work with community groups such as the Courage Centre. But this discussion is much more personal, highlighting her decision to share her personal journey as a childhood abuse victim through writing. She’s published two beautiful books for young audiences, and shares plans for a memoir to come.
- My Body, My Rules is written for young children, with beautiful illustrations and a gentle pace and message of body autonomy and setting boundaries.
- The Line I Draw is written for older children, particularly tweens and teens grappling with childhood trauma. It’s a story of finding your own voice and building strength.
Tune in to hear Tammy share how these books are helping her and her family, and her hopes for the impact they will have for other children facing difficult, unsafe situations.
