More Than Fluff

Reach for this book when you notice your child shrinking away from well meaning hugs or when you want to establish the foundation of bodily autonomy. Many children, especially those who are physically small or conventionally cute, are often touched without their permission. This story helps them navigate those uncomfortable moments with grace and firm boundaries. Daisy is a fuzzy little chick who is tired of being squeezed. Through her journey, children learn that being adorable is not an invitation for others to invade their personal space. It is a perfect gentle introduction to consent for the preschool and early elementary years, offering a roadmap for how to say no while still being kind. Parents will appreciate the way it validates a child's right to their own body, providing the exact language needed to express discomfort in social settings.
