Meet Doug, an ordinary kid who doesn't like hugs, in this fun and exuberant story which aims to spark discussions about bodily autonomy and consent--from author Carrie Finison and the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of The World Needs More Purple People , Daniel Wiseman .
Doug doesn't like hugs.
He thinks hugs are too squeezy, too squashy, too squooshy, too smooshy.
He doesn't like hello hugs or goodbye hugs, game-winning home run hugs or dropped ice cream cone hugs, and he definitely doesn't like birthday hugs.
He'd much rather give a high five--or a low five, a side five, a double five, or a spinny five.
Yup, some people love hugs; other people don't.
So how can you tell if someone likes hugs or not? There's only one way to find out: Ask Because everybody gets to decide for themselves whether they want a hug or not.
