Fill Every Child's Life With Hugs & Kisses. This storybook is part of the Hugs & Kisses children's book series. Hugs is a gigantic, easy-going, lovable brown & white St. Bernard - a colossal canine! Kisses is a petite, cuddly, affectionate pure white Siamese, a stylishily graceful feline! They are friends who refuse to fight like cats and dogs.
"Hugs & Kisses: Be a Buddy, Not a Bully," the first book in the series, deals with the most timely issue for youngsters today - bullying. It features two canine characters, Buddy Beagle, everyone's "best friend" and Bully Bulldog, who antagonizes everyone, especially cats and dogs. The story encourages children to "Be a Buddy, Not a Bully," especially with those who may be "different," just as Hugs & Kisses try to teach all their canine and feline friends to all "Be a Buddy, Not a Bully." A companion CD featuring songs with themes from the Hugs & Kisses books is currently in production, featuring an elementary school children's chorus. One song is "Be a Buddy, Not a Bully." The Hugs & Kisses storybooks and songs say "I Love You" to children in so many ways, utilizing today's relevant issues and themes to promote values that young people can understand, identify with, and hopefully emulate. An added benefit to Hugs & Kisses: Be a Buddy, Not a Bully is to encourage children to play and socialize with others who may be different so that they can experience a wide variety of friends and learn the true value of friendship. I encourage you to explore the world of Hugs & Kisses with your children, and get to know all their canine and feline friends, and discover all the sensitive issues they deal with. This is a true learning experience for young children to carry with them through life.
