Description

Everyone needs a hug sometimes, and for the youngest of listeners, this winsome board book offers the chance to be enfolded in one—and pass it along.

Baby Hippo has a skinned knee. Baby Penguin has dropped its fish. And Baby Raccoon doesn’t like loud noises, shrinking as a peal of thunder crashes overhead. Just turn the page of this sweet board book from the creators of Tuck Me In! and Who’s Hungry?, and you can help an array of baby animals find some loving reassurance in a trusted grown-up’s arms. Maybe there’s a special someone ready to give you a hug as well! Whether a young child is feeling fear, anger, sadness, or frustration, a hug is the perfect way to say There, there. Everything will be all right.
