Illustrated by Ryan Jones, the children's picture book No, I Don't Want To! teaches an important lesson.

Sima is a delightful little girl who loves animals and adventure. She also loves to say "no" all the time. In fact, she says it so often that one day she forgets how to say yes, even to her favorite things.

This makes Sima think hard about why she disagrees. She realizes that she doesn't really mean to say no, but just wants to be noticed. Sima learns her lesson and now only says what she really means to say.

Zina Bell was born in Russia and currently resides in Australia. "I have two daughters who continuously teach me love and patience. At the end of each day, we enjoy sharing a good book, may it be a fairy tale or some facts about Earth. This is my first children's book, inspired by my older girl who is a very spirited child.
