Review "[A] refrain (No kissies!) and soft watercolor art by Engle reinforce the message that speaking up for ones bodily agency should always be embraced."—starred, Publishers Weekly Review Quote "Rissy is a lovebird hatchling, with one unusual quirk: she doesnt like kisses! One by one, her family and friends learn this the hard way, as they attempt to show affection, tuck her into the nest, or soothe her boo-boos. Each time, Rissy responds with the same emphatic squeak: No kissies! The other birds wonder if Rissy is sick or confused or just mean and rude, but when she despairs that shell never belong, her mother assures her that she is still a true lovebird and that how she chooses to receive or show affection is entirely her choice. Its a purposeful story, but Howes sing-song, rhyming text, coupled with Engles charming characters and gentle watercolors, makes it an easy means of conveying big concepts--body autonomy, boundaries, consent--to the littlest readers. Back matter includes a note to kids, sharing small lessons on establishing boundaries and respecting others, as well as a note to caregivers, which defines key terms and explains the importance of beginning this kind of education early. A cute conversation-starter."--Booklist Feature Catchy, rhyming text and colorful watercolor illustrations teach young readers how to advocate for themselves Approaches the concept of body autonomy and consent in an engaging, safe way Author Katey Howes draws on personal experience and knowledge about sensory processing issues and consent The book is both a mirror for children who dont like certain types of affection and a window for children who will learn from the book how to respect the boundaries of their peers Description for Press or Other Media Digital Press Kit, Featured in eNewsletter, National Advertising, National Author Appearances, National Publicity Campaign, National Review Attention, Promotional Materials, Special Publicity Mailing to Childrens Media Outlets Details ISBN1541597982 Author Jess Engle Pages 32 Publisher Lerner Publishing Group Language English Year 2021 Illustrator Jess Engle ISBN-10 1541597982 ISBN-13 9781541597983 Format Hardcover Place of Publication Minneapolis Country of Publication United States Illustrations Illustrations, color Publication Date 2021-03-02 AU Release Date 2021-03-02 NZ Release Date 2021-03-02 US Release Date 2021-03-02 UK Release Date 2021-03-02 Audience Age 4-9 Audience Children / Juvenile Imprint Lerner Publishing Group Alternative 9781728417394 DEWEY [E] We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
