ABOUT

This fun and clever picture book about boundaries and consent, by the creator of Frank the Seven-legged Spider, will be welcome by anyone looking for opportunities to share these concepts with young children in an approachable way.

With growing awareness of the importance of teaching the concepts of consent and personal space at an early age, Drake the Super-Excited, Overeager, In-Your-Face Snake is perfect for families looking for ways to have a conversation with young children about boundaries, healthy communication, respect, and body autonomy. With a humorous approach and expressive, relatable characters, kids can learn about consent through this fun story.

Drake is a very friendly snake, who loves to play with his friends, but he can be a little over-eager and disruptive when he joins in their play. He also loves to give big hugs, but he doesn’t always ask first, and his friends don’t always like to be hugged.

When his friends become too uncomfortable with his hugs and no longer want to play with him, Drake realizes he needs to find other ways to approach showing his affection and engaging in play.

Will Drake learn how to show his affection and how to ask to join in playtime without making his friends uncomfortable? Find out in this endearing book that addresses the importance of consent in an empathetic, positive, and kid-friendly way.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
