A warm and reassuring picture book about listening to your heart and advocating for yourself, even to the people you love most. Nisha's aunties and uncles
love to show love
. They're always swooping her up into big, squishy hugs or squeezing her cheeks. But Nisha is used to it--they're family! So when Nisha's Ammamma and Appappa arrive from India, everyone is surprised when Nisha is suddenly shy.
Nisha loves her grandparents, and she's excited they're here. So why does giving them a hug feel so scary? And if she
doesn't embrace them, will their feelings be so hurt that they go back to India?
This tender family story acts as a reminder for kids and adults that there are many different ways to show love, and that when it comes to your body-- and your boundaries--you always know best.
