This book is an amazing tool to teach children, even toddlers about autonomy and decision making. Unfortunately, children don't often get much of a choice with anything, that gets taken away a lot, and over time it develops into people pleasing tendencies. I find this book does a fantastic job of curbing all of that while simultaneously emphasizing there are ways to set boundaries well. Not only does the author teach readers why saying 'no' instead of 'maybe' or holding onto feelings is so freeing, she also enlightens the reader on how not to be hurt by another's refusal. The colorful illustrations by Urvashi Dubey absolutely match Bharti Singh's simple writing and I believe will leave an effective impact on young readers. Highly recommend.
