Don't Hug the Quokka! by Daniel Errico
5.0
funny hopeful informative lighthearted medium-paced

 
This is an interesting book for body autonomy. I originally thought this was going to be more information about quokkas not being friendly or something similar. But that’s not what this is.  It’s a fun rhyming story that is all about when someone doesn’t want a hug. It’s OK to not want to hug, no matter how approachable someone may be. I love the story! The rhymes can be a little harsh at times but overall, it works. The illustrations are fun, bright, and will keep the readers interested. Plus, learning about a new animal whose name begins with a Q can make for lots of storytime joviality.
