Maya has a problem. There's a rule about hugging and kissing
Aunt Trudy when she comes to visit - Aunt Trudy, who wears
horrible, stinky perfume and squeezes Maya so tight she feels
like a tube of toothpaste.
Maya doesn't like this rule. She dislikes it so much that she's
went off into the forest, disturbing all of the creatures around
her with her loud, angry singing and stomping feet.
When Maya runs into (almost literally!) Mrs. Morales, the kind
older lady helps Maya to see that sometimes rules can be
changed, but in ways that won't hurt other people's feelings.
When Maya comes up with a different way to welcome Aunt
Trudy to her home, her Mama and Papa both come to
understand that their hugging and kissing rule might not be a
good one, after all.
RULES ARE RULES is a good story to teach children that some
rules can be bent when they're ones that you just can't deal
with.
