Don't Hug Doug (He Doesn't Like It)

Written by Carrie Finison

Illustrated by Daniel Wiseman

Ages 3–7 Picture book

Doug is a happy, loving child who doesn’t like hugs. He helps others understand that liking someone and wanting a hug are different things.

Why We Love It

Doug gets a happy ending without needing to change his mind about hugs. His boundary is part of who he is, and it doesn’t make him any less affectionate or kind.
