How to Hug by Maryann Macdonald

Illustrated by Jana Christy. 32 p., Marshall Cavendish, 2011. This story both celebrates the joys of hugs and shows kids “how to hug” in ways that respect both people’s needs. For example, children are advised not to hug too tightly or too long, and to understand that “some creatures are too shy for hugging.” Likewise, the author validates children’s right to say no to hugs that they don’t want. With its colorful illustrations, full of charming facial expressions, this book encourages children to hug with an open heart. Ages 2-5
