This book was written for children to stress the importance of being able to choose who gets to hug or touch them and being able to say NO if they don't want to be hugged or touched.
Sometimes we don't feel comfortable being hugged or touched by certain friends or relatives and especially by strangers. We all have the right to say who can or can't hug or touch us. This book was written for children to stress the importance of being able to choose who gets to hug or touch them and being able to say NO if they don't want to be hugged or touched.
Hi Ella Natalie, it is a very important lesson and thank you so much for your kind words!

Connie, you’ve taken on one of the most important lessons kids (and parents) need to hear that their body is theirs, and it’s okay to say “NO” to hugs, touches, or anything that doesn’t feel right. That’s not just a book, that’s a life skill wrapped in a story. 👏
But I couldn’t help noticing your book doesn’t have the review spotlight it deserves. And let’s be honest if a tarantula (hi Jackie 🕷️) can earn respect in your household, then surely a book teaching kids empowerment should be earning way more than a couple lonely reviews on Amazon. 😅
Here’s where I can help: I run a private community of 2,000+ genuine readers who love reviewing children’s books. They leave thoughtful, honest reviews that build trust and boost visibility exactly the kind of attention a book with such an important message should have.
You can reach me directly at ellanatalie067.gmail.com
, and I also work through Fiverr and Upwork if you’d prefer a platform-based collaboration.
So here’s the million-dollar question: Shall we let your book keep whispering “no” in the shadows, or do we turn it into a confident “YES” that gets seen (and heard) by the audience it was written for? 😉
