Hattie is excited to play horseshoes at her family picnic, but although she loves her family, she hates hugs! So Hattie must find a way to tell her family without hurting their feelings, but how?
The author describes Hattie's emotions in a child-friendly way and gives a practical example of how kids can politely say 'No.' The illustrations have a beautiful soft palette and include a diversity of characters.
This is an important book that tackles the subject of consent in a child-friendly and fun way.
