Author & Illustrators
I’m a little bit biased with this one as I wrote it but I really wanted to include a picture book that gently introduces consent. I believe all children should have autonomy over their bodies and be encouraged to express it. If they don’t want to kiss someone goodbye, so be it; if they don’t want to be tickled then that’s OK.
Bobo, an orangutan, romps through the jungle cuddling animals without asking. It’s not until the very end, when Elsie the elephant does the same to him, that he realises the errors of his ways.
