Book Synopsis

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!

Feels like being enveloped in your very own hug.' Kirkus

A smashing story time tale.' Books for Keeps

It's utterly lovely. It makes her face light up every time she hears it.' The Guardian Best Books of 2019
