What's Rissy No Kissies About
A lovebird who doesn’t like kisses? Rissy’s friends and family wonder if she’s sick, confused, or rude. But kisses make Rissy uncomfortable. Can one little lovebird show everyone that there’s no one right way to show you care? Rissy No Kissies carries the message that your body and your heart are yours, and you choose how to share. A note at the end provides further information for kids, parents, and educators about body autonomy, consent, and different ways to show affection.

If you're looking for a book to share with children (as well as fellow caregivers) that presents consent and bodily autonomy in a child-friendly and approachable way, this one is fantastic! When one little lovebird emphatically insists she doesn't want kisses, her family and friends think she is in turns rude, mean, sick, etc., until her mom helps her discover the language and courage to speak up about how she prefers to feel love.
