Description: The bestselling and heart-warming picture book that shows us ways to be affectionate while social distancing, from the team behind The Hug. 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. A gorgeous, uplifting, inspiring picture book that makes social distancing fun!.

Review: ???? ‘For all the children who can’t hug the ones they love.’ ?? From the duo who brought usHug , I also love this short story from Eoin McLaughlin, which is simply to the point, covering current feelings about showing we can love & care without physically touching, come rain or shine. The pastel illustrations from Polly Dunbar are also seemingly simple, but so spot on, especially the facial expressions that convey the emotion of the moment. IMO, the storyline is applicable to anyone, any time, across any distance. ooOoo ~ AUTHOR: EOIN MCLAUGHLIN ~ ILLUSTRATOR: POLLY DUNBAR ~ PUBLISHER: FABER & FABER ~ JUNE 2020 From the back cover: ???? ‘Hedgehog and Tortoise are the best of friends. But they’re not allowed to hug. Luckily, there are lots of other ways to show someone you love them…’ ?? ooOoo Measuring around 24.75 cm square, the pastel coloured card cover is shiny for the title and the two main characters, i.e. Hedgehog on one side of the rainbow on the front cover and Tortoise, the other side of the rainbow, on the back. Inside are 32 matte finish pages, of which the story spans 28, with a simple sentence or two on each double page spread. On the left-hand page each time is Hedgehog, with Tortoise on the right-hand page. At first, they are both a bit despondent, but then Owl comes along to show them the way forward! A commendable paragraph from the publisher on the very last page just ahead of the credits: ???? ‘Faber has published children’s books since 1929. T. S. Eliot’s ‘Old Possum of Practical Cats’ and Ted Hughes’ ~ ‘The Iron Man’ were amongst the first. Our catalogue at the time said that ‘it is by reading such books that children learn the difference between the shoddy and the genuine.’ We still believe in the power of reading to transform children’s lives. All our books are chosen with the express intention of growing a love of reading, a thirst for knowledge and to cultivate empathy. We pride ourselves on responsible editing. Last but not least, we believe in kind and inclusive books in which all children feel represented and important.’ And…the book is ‘Printed in the UK’.
