Finn navigates a gathering of relatives and friends. His parents encourage him to make his own choices about whether to received and offer physical affection. At the end, he uses the lesson he’s learned and waits for consent before holding the hand of his best friend.
This book teaches that it is okay for kids to say no to hugs and kisses, and that what happens to their body is up to them. This helps children grow up confident in their bodies, comfortable with expressing physical boundaries, and respectful of the boundaries of others.
