A very simple and cute book about autonomy, consent, and respecting boundaries.

I liked that Ladybug was also asked if she wanted to hug, even though we know she loves hugs in general. I would have liked if there was a page of a friend refusing the high five too, and stating that that's okay as well; you don't have to negotiate a compromise if someone just doesn't want to be touched (the way it was phrased, “Is Sheep ready for a high five?” stuck out to me). But this is a board book, you can't cover everything!
