      About This Book

      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!

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