Bookroo's summary

Harrison loves sharing his joy, but his enthusiasm often invades others' personal space. As he grows, his hugs and high-fives become too much for those around him. When his father introduces the Space Saver rhyme, Harrison discovers a fun way to respect boundaries. Will this new lesson help him find the perfect balance between closeness and space? Join Harrison on his journey to self-awareness in this humorous tale that tackles an important social skill with charm and wit.

From the publisher

Harrison is a boy who loves life and likes to share with others, but as he grows older the people around him are finding that he stands too close and maybe hugs a little too much–until his father teaches him the Space Saver rhyme, a method for determining just the right amount of space to leave between himself and others.
