The vivid and cheerful torn paper illustrations by Catherine Stock reinforce the fun that awaits students behind every door. From the school bus door, office door, library door, and more, the reader sees the teachers, principal, and staff that create a safe place for learning.

I also hope the huggers and non-huggers-young and older-who share this book will honor children’s preferences and promote the value of these many gestures that show we care about one another.Įstelle Corke, who has illustrated several books for Star Bright, provided the child-friendly artwork for Please Don’t Give Me a Hug. I hope that from an early age children can learn to speak up about the ways they want to be greeted. This book is about consent and the many other ways to say “Hello, I see you,” ways that are just as dear as hugs. As a mother, grandmother, and school librarian, I have learned to wait to be invited into hugs. There are children and children at heart who enjoy a solid bear hug, and there are many who don’t.
