Everyone’s favourite (socially distanced) characters return to help us through this challenging period.
Hedgehog is waiting for his friend Tortoise to wake up. But where is he and when will he wake?
Hedgehog’s friends are all very lovely, but they just aren’t as much fun at the beach, or at hide and seek, or at holding hands, or at hugs.
Tortoise begins to stir – the one boulder that Hedgehog didn’t think he could lift to turn . . .
Tortoise has been dreaming of Hedgehog. And the hug that follows is their best yet!
A charming and touching new tale from the creators of the bestselling While We Can’t Hug!
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!
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!
