Grownups always want to hug and teachers talk real close.
I don't like snuggles or cuddly kisses cuz stinky air is gross!
Have you ever had a hug from a grownup and their breath smelled like coffee? Or onions? Or a stinky icky toilet? Some people's mouths just don't smell great! But you don't want to be rude to people who are just trying to be nice. Whatever is a good kid to do about bad breath?
Icky Stinky Poopy Breath is a funny, light-hearted book about bad breath, accompanied by all kinds of silly illustrations showing off the different things our bad breath can smell like. It uses humour to teach kids that it's okay to express when they're uncomfortable or when their personal space has been invaded. And it reminds adults to treat children like real people, with real feelings. Because building confidence in children, respecting them, and encouraging their own unique personality is the best gift we can give them!
