It's never too early to teach children about the necessity of boundaries
and the power of consent. Developed by therapist Christine Babinec after
years of working with survivors of abuse, Want a Hug? is a book about
communication, understanding, mutuality, listening, and love. Far from a
didactic lecture, this joyful picture book affirms that developing
consent skills is a natural, positive, fun, and affirming experience.
With colorful, inviting illustrations, children will learn that it's
okay to say no and, perhaps more importantly, it's okay to say yes. The
power is in the choice.
