Abstract:
"The delightful cast of characters from Pink Is for Everybody is back, this time celebrating a birthday! On this happy occasion, an old friend arrives with hugs for everyone -- as a greeting, as a way to celebrate a party-game win, as a way to wish happy birthday. But, the friend comes to learn, hugs are NOT for everybody. And that's okay -- a silly super-secret handshake is fun alternative to a hug. Especially one that ends with a surprise magic trick. But wait! Being part of a magic trick is also not be for everybody ... or everybunny. Because when it comes to people's (or rabbits') bodies, it's important to ask! So what do the friends agree is the perfect ending to a super-secret handshake? A yummy piece of birthday cake, of course! Within this cheerful story about expressions of friendship, there's an important lesson on consent and respecting personal boundaries that speaks compassionately to both huggers and non-huggers alike. Hugs are not for everybody, but there are lots of fun, creative, and inclusive ways to express friendship and love"-- Provided by publisher.
