Saying no is hard. This illustrated workbook makes it easier.

How to Say No is a boundaries workbook that gently guides you through the art of setting limits with friends, at work, in activism, or on dates. Designed by illustrator Louie Läuger, it’s part journal, part consent guide book. 

You’ll explore:

  • how to check in with your feelings
  • when to offer compromise or explanation
  • what it means to say no clearly and kindly
  • how to care for yourself (and others) afterwards

Whether you’re practicing assertiveness or unlearning people-pleasing habits, this workbook offers encouragement and reflection space on every page. There’s plenty of room to write, doodle, and make it your own.

About the Author

Louie (they/them) works somewhere in the intersection of illustration, education and feminism. They most enjoy drawing things that make people think, “oh wow, I finally understand that!” when they read and look at it. When Louie isn't illustrating, they're probably doing pottery. You can find them on Instagram @tenderrebellions.

They also illustrated our workbook Einfach Gendern!
