A picture book about a group of underwater friends who learn to ask for permission before showing their prickly, pufferfish pal some love.
Ellie Peterson is a middle school science teacher by day, author and artist by night (and any time when doodling can occur). She's inspired to teach readers to question how they know what they know. Ellie lives with her family in Seattle, Washington.
"Peterson's expressive undersea cast shines from the blue ocean
depths with big, googly eyes and animated personalities. Serious
topics of consent, respect, and finding other ways to show
affection bounce through the waves and end up buoyantly accessible
and clear." --Kirkus Reviews "[Peterson's] wide-eyed underwater
creatures have a goofy appeal, and it's easy to see the huggability
of Pufferfish, with its bubbly eyes and gap-toothed smile. [A]
gentle introduction to ideas of consent and boundaries." --The
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Appealing characters and action, [make] this an engaging tome for
burgeoning consent shelves." --School Library Journal
