Puddin Pie in Save Space For Me

Puddin Pie in Save Space For Me
"Everyone has a bubble, a cozy little space... a spot that helps us feel just right, a comfy, happy place."
Puddin' Pie is the friendliest baker's helper in town! With his bouncy curly hair and floury apron, he loves nothing more than baking gooey treats and spreading joy. But Puddin' has one tiny problem: he loves to hug and kiss everyone he meets, without asking first!
When Puddin' notices his friends Mia, Olivia, and Carol looking "scared and frozen," he realizes his bubbles of kindness are actually popping his friends' personal bubbles. With the help of a Wise Old Owl and a clever lesson from his own baking sheet, Puddin' discovers a "sweet" secret:
Just like pies in a pan, people need a little "wiggle room" to stay perfectly golden!

• Introduces Consent & Body Autonomy: A gentle, age-appropriate introduction to asking "May I?" before physical contact.
• The "Pie" Metaphor: Relates social behavior to baking, making the abstract concept of "personal space" concrete for young minds.
