A book for parents?
Fun drawings that parents will relate to.

Nice illustrations, relatable theme, and the kids eventually come to a great organic resolution on their own. My only complaint (why it gets 3 stars instead of 4) is that I'm really not a fan of books that give kids new names to call each other and I believe strongly that kids should have the right to say no when they don't want to be touched. Hugging it out, while a unique and fun twist, can also teach them that they can be forced to touch someone else when they don't feel like it. Just beware of that before you introduce the concept to your own kids. While I may recommend this to a mom who's seeking a picture book about conflict resolution, I will not be using it in story time.
