Don’’t Hug Doug

　　誰不愛抱抱？嘿，但偏偏有人不愛呢！Doug不喜歡抱抱，他覺得抱抱太緊，弄得他不舒服，不管是打招呼、說再見的抱抱，或是生日的祝福抱抱、冰淇淋掉到地上的安慰抱抱，他通通不喜歡。但不用擔心，Doug不是不喜歡你，他只是不喜歡擁抱而已，比起抱抱，還有很多其他表達關心和愛的方式呀。

　　有些人愛抱抱，但不是所有人都愛，那要怎麼知道呢？開口問問看就知道囉！拒絕並不代表沒禮貌，不論是肢體觸碰、抱抱、或親親，都應該考慮對方的意願。不管年紀大小，每個人都是獨立個體，也都擁有表達自己意願的權利。透過故事引導，讓孩子練習勇敢說出自己的感受，尊重孩子對身體的自主權，不只學會保護自己，也懂得尊重他人的重要。

Meet Doug, an ordinary kid who doesn’t like hugs, in this fun and exuberant story which aims to spark discussions about bodily autonomy and consent--from author Carrie Finison and the #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of The World Needs More Purple People, Daniel Wiseman.

Doug doesn’t like hugs. He thinks hugs are too squeezy, too squashy, too squooshy, too smooshy. He doesn’t like hello hugs or goodbye hugs, game-winning home run hugs or dropped ice cream cone hugs, and he definitely doesn’t like birthday hugs. He’d much rather give a high five--or a low five, a side five, a double five, or a spinny five. Yup, some people love hugs; other people don’t. So how can you tell if someone likes hugs or not? There’s only one way to find out: Ask! Because everybody gets to decide for themselves whether they want a hug or not.
