What is A hug for you about?
When Adam King cannot give his teacher, doctors or nurses a real hug, he invents a special heart-shaped sign: a virtual hug. Inspired by Adam’s true story during the COVID-19 pandemic, this warm picture book follows his idea as it travels from his home to hospital appointments and out into the wider world. Along the way, the virtual hug appears on mugs, stamps and even in space, showing how one thoughtful child can spread comfort, friendship and hope when people must stay apart.
