“This is an artistic gem for consent discussions, sensory-processing contexts, and anyone who champions children’s agency and bodily autonomy. Rissy No Kissies carries the message that “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. Can one little lovebird show everyone that there’s no one right way to show you care? Rissy’s friends and family wonder if she’s sick, confused, or rude. Katey Howes’ newest picture book, Rissy No Kissies, illustrated by Jess Engle, debuted on March 2, 2021. Hon, you know how much I love Kidlit, especially picture books, so congrats to authors whose picture books have just debuted ! Happy Book Birthday to a bunch of NJ SCBWI writer-friends!
