The Hug
A beautiful, heartwarming picture book with all the universal appeal of Guess How Much I Love You.
Hedgehog was feeling sad.
As sad as a hedgehog can feel.
So sad only one thing could help...
Tortoise was feeling sad.
As sad as a tortoise can feel.
So sad only one thing could help...
In this clever flipbook, both a hedgehog and a tortoise are looking for a hug. They ask all the other animals they come across but for some reason no one will hug them. Until a wise owl explains: Hedgehog is too spiky; Tortoise is too bony.
And that's when they find each other!
The Kiss
Tiger was feeling sleepy. As sleepy as sleepy can be. So sleepy only one thing could help…
Crocodile was feeling sleepy. As sleepy as sleepy can be. So sleepy only one thing could help…
Tiger and Crocodile are both looking for a goodnight kiss in this clever flip-book story. But the animals along the way don’t seem very forthcoming! Perhaps it’s those sharp little teeth that they can see when Tiger and Crocodile yawn. Then they see a sharp-toothed shadow… eek! But don’t worry it’s just Daddy Croc and Mummy Tiger, come to kiss their little ones goodnight.
A delightful, snuggly bedtime story that celebrates blended families and kindred spirits.
The Longer the Wait, The Bigger the Hug
Everyone's favourite (socially distanced) characters return to help us through this challenging period.
Hedgehog is waiting for his friend Tortoise to wake up. But where is he and when will he wake?
Hedgehog's friends are all very lovely, but they just aren't as much fun at the beach, or at hide and seek, or at holding hands, or at hugs.
Tortoise begins to stir - the one boulder that Hedgehog didn't think he could lift to turn...
Tortoise has been dreaming of Hedgehog. And the hug that follows is their best yet!
A charming and touching new tale from the creators of the bestselling While We Can't Hug!
The Roar
There were so many things that Tortoise wanted to do. So many games to play and rocks to climb. Oops. Tortoise was stuck. Tortoise was not happy. Tortoise is not having a good day and now he's stuck in a hole and is far too upset for hugs. Hedgehog sits and waits and then makes Tortoise laugh - taking the time to let the moment pass, and acknowledge how Tortoise feels.
While We Can't Hug
From the team behind the bestselling The Hug, a heart-warming picture book that shows us ways to be affectionate while social distancing.
Hedgehog and Tortoise were the best of friends.
They wanted to give each other a great, big hug.
But they weren't allowed to touch.
"Don't worry," said Owl. "There are lots of ways to show someone you love them."
So the two friends wave to each other, blow kisses, sing songs, dance around and write letters. And even though they can't hug and they can't touch, they both know that they are loved.
While We Can't Hug is a gorgeous, uplifting, inspiring picture book that makes social distancing fun!
