Tortoise is not having a good day and now he's stuck in a hole and is far too cross for hugs. Hedgehog sits and waits and then makes Tortoise laugh - taking the time to let the moment pass, and acknowledge how Tortoise feels.

Their gentle approach shows the importance of patience and understanding in friendships.

The Roar by Eoin McLaughlin is a beautifully illustrated story about emotions, patience, and the healing power of laughter and companionship.
