Don’t Hug Doug

A fun picture book to encourage conversations about consent and setting boundaries. It is an important topic to talk to our children about as we learn more about how children should be respected just as equal as adults. Would you be happy when people pressure you to hug them, or give them a kiss?

Meet Doug.

Doug doesn’t like hugs. He thinks they’re too squeezy, too squashy, too squooshy, too smooshy. However, Doug is a master of high fives (and low fives and side fives).

Some people like hugs, other people don’t. The only way to find out is to ask!
