About this resource
A funny, straightforward picture book about Doug, who likes lots of things but does not like hugs. Instead, he'd much rather give a high five.
Through Doug's very clear preferences, children learn that people have different boundaries around physical affection, that saying no to a hug is okay, and that the best way to know whether someone wants to be touched is simply to ask.
