A Hug Is for Holding Me (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781419728266)

A picture book celebrating the power of hugs from award-winning creators, author Lisa Wheeler and illustrator Lisk Feng

A Hug Is for Holding Me is a sweet, cozy book about love and affection and invites children to engage with the natural world in a fresh, new way. Some hugs are tight and some hugs are snug . . . but guess who gives the BEST hugs?

"Feng's artwork is lovely, stylized flora and fauna filling the pages, and the love between the two is evident." --Kirkus Reviews

"Using allusions to nature, Wheeler writes lyrically about what a hug can be . . . Detailed art by Feng has a retro feel. The ornament-like abundance of insects, flowers, and other natural objects brushes this familial journey with magic." --Publishers Weekly
