Sometimes, all you need is just a little hug!

Wolfie is feeling a bit fragile, so he looks to his friends to cheer him up. Each offers their own version of a hug, but they’re all a bit too wild for Wolfie! Snake squeezes far too tight, and Orangutan’s loop-the-loop hug is a bit too much... surely someone must have the perfect hug to cheer poor Wolfie up? Perhaps all is not as it seems, and there’s a very special someone who’s ready to help.

A heartwarming celebration of the special bond a child has with their toys, and the very special power of a simple, loving hug.

Just a Little Hug by Greg Gormley is a delightful story that emphasises the importance and warmth a simple hug can bring.
