Description: Max was once a sweet, agreeable baby, but as he grows, he discovers the power of “No!” Soon, it’s his answer to everything—getting up, getting dressed, eating, tidying, even having fun. His parents try every trick, but Max’s stubborn streak only grows. One day, his mum decides to let Max’s teddy have all the adventures instead. Suddenly, Max realizes he’s missing out on surprises and fun. Eager to join in, he quickly gets ready and starts saying “yes” instead. The story uses playful rhyme and relatable family moments to explore the push-and-pull of growing independence and the importance of balance between asserting yourself and being open to new experiences. With expressive illustrations and gentle humor, “The Boy Who Said No!” reassures children and parents that testing boundaries is a normal part of growing up—and that sometimes, saying “yes” can lead to wonderful things.
