The Runaway Hug

Reach for this book when your child is seeking extra reassurance before bed or when you want to playfully reinforce that love is an inexhaustible resource. It is the perfect choice for children who struggle with the transition of 'one last hug' before saying goodnight. The story follows young Lucy, who takes her mother's playful joke about having only one hug left very seriously. She embarks on a journey through her busy household to share the hug with siblings and her father, always making sure to get it back. The book uses a lighthearted, imaginative premise to address themes of family connection, generosity, and the security of a parent's affection. It is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2 to 6) who are learning about sharing and the permanence of emotional bonds.
