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!
