Rissy No Kissies

Rissy is a lovebird — but she doesn't like kisses. Rissy's friends and family wonder if she's sick, confused, or rude. But kisses make Rissy uncomfortable, to the point where her tummy feels sick; she'd rather hug, high-five, or even roughhouse. Can one little lovebird — with the support of her empathetic mom — show everyone that there's no one right way to show you care?

With rhyming text and charming watercolor illustrations, Rissy No Kissies follows Rissy as she learns to say no to kisses and yes to the ways she wants to show affection. The message is clear: "your body and your heart are yours, and you choose how to share." A note at the end provides further information for kids, parents, and educators about body autonomy, consent, and different ways to show affection.

Description

"Mom’s bolstering of Rissy’s boundaries and reassurance that she’s a lovebird family member are cheerworthy; now Rissy can explain her preferences more fully, with greater assurance than before, secure in her family and identity. Howes’ rhyming verse is both rollicking and steady, which offsets Rissy’s vulnerability without undermining it. Engle’s wonderfully stocky lovebirds are multicolored, with watercolor hue gradations and expressive beak shapes. This is an artistic gem for consent discussions, sensory-processing contexts, and anyone who champions children’s agency and bodily autonomy." — Kirkus Reviews
