Don't Hug Doug

from £7.99

A fun picture book to encourage conversations about consent and setting boundaries. Meet Doug. Doug doesn't like hugs.

He thinks they're too squeezy, too squashy, too squooshy, too smooshy. However, Doug is a master of high fives (and low fives and side fives). Some people like hugs, other people don't.

The only way to find out is to ask!

We love this book because it is:

  • a brilliantly funny story about consent

  • teaches respect for others

  • introduces boundaries and saying ‘no’

Learning opportunities:

  • PSED: consent & boundaries

  • PSED: discuss who likes hugs and who doesn’t. How can we show we care about someone without a hug? eg. high five, handshake, wave…

  • PSED: role play asking for a hug/saying no

  • C&L: draw yourself and write a speech bubble saying if/when you like to have hugs/who you like to hug

  • Drama: invent your own special high-five
