“Your body and your heart are yours, and you choose how to share it”. She shows her love in a variety of ways, just not with kisses! We’re reminded that love comes in many forms. Rissy tells us that she likes to hug, sing, and make cards for her friends. Thankfully, Rissy’s mother reassures her that she is a lovebird no matter how she expresses love or affection. Most other lovebirds think this is strange! How can a LOVEBIRD not want to be kissed? Rissy is upset by this because she wants to be loved and accepted as herself, but she’s afraid that she’s too weird or abnormal because of the reactions from family and friends. Rissy No Kissies is about a lovebird who does not like to be kissed. Bear with me here, I’m going to be a bit personal. This book made me cry while at work yesterday.
