    ADVANCE PRAISE FOR BOOK OF HUGS

    “With the help of some monkeys, a teddy bear teaches readers all about hugs. Teddy Bear Tim (the author’s teddy-bear persona) waves to readers and declares, ‘I LOVE hugs!’ His upbeat narration continues as Teddy Bear Tim meets up with a trio of cuddly monkeys who share the love for hugs—and bananas. The four characters list many different kinds of hugs (like ‘happy hugs,’ ‘slow hugs,’ or ‘monkey hugs’) before Teddy Bear Tim shares the ‘three simple steps’ to giving a hug. They are: ask first, open arms wide, and wrap the other person in a hug (‘tight, but not too tight’). Once the instructions are given, Teddy Bear Tim describes some hugging scenarios and acts them out with the monkeys. From running full-bore into each other’s arms to a 5-second ‘quick hug,’ the hugs all point back to Teddy Bear Tim’s key precept: ‘The LOVE is the most important part.’

    Motivational speaker and disability advocate Harris’ debut picture book affirms the joy of hugs while highlighting the importance of consent. Astrella’s expressive cartoon characters and energetic hugging sequences show his animation background.”

    BuzzPatch Mosquito Repellent Patch – SAY GOODBYE TO MOSQUITOES IN THE NATURAL WAY

    Bug bites are no fun for anyone, especially when your kids are playing outside on the playground. Focus on the fun while BuzzPatch handles the rest. With cute smiley-face designs that serve as mosquito repellent patches, kids enjoy wearing the stickers on outer clothing. Unlike topical sprays which contain DEET or Picaridin, BuzzPatch is not only easy to apply but environment-friendly. A blend of natural Citronella and lavender essential oils on a non-woven fabric are all that’s needed to detract pesky bugs (it smells amazing!).

    All the parents know what mosquito bites mean for their kids. The poor little ones can’t handle the itch, day or night. Some kids get it worse than others, developing an allergic reaction to the bite that causes the area to swell up and is really, really uncomfortable.

    Some kids even develop a fear of going outside, just to avoid getting bitten! BuzzPatch uses the most effective, but safe, essential oil combination designed to confuse mosquitoes and hide your kids from their senses.

    BuzzPatch is made using non-woven fabric patches, infused with a combination of Citronella and other essential oils which are perfectly safe for your kids. Unlike topical sprays which contain DEET or Picaridin, BuzzPatch is not only easy to apply, but environment-friendly!

    • Kids aged 0-2 need 1 patch: One patch placed centrally on clothes (ie, on their jumpsuit on the stomach, chest)
    • Kids aged 3-5 need 2 patches: One patch on the top clothes (sweater, t-shirt) and one on the shorts.
    • Kids aged 6+ and parents need 2-4 patches: One patch on the clothing next to each exposed limb (one on the sleeve of both the left and right arm, and if wearing shorts, one on the left and right side of the shorts)
