To get inspired, here are some picture books that got us in a downright huggin' mood!

Hugging Hour by Aileen Lietjen
It's Drew's first sleepover at Grandma's house, and she is nervous her parents won't come home. Daunting, certainly, but nothing a "hugging hour" session from Grandma can't fix! Hugs to the rescue!

How Do You Hug a Porcupine? by Laurie Isop
I'm sure you can imagine hugging something soft and cuddly like a bunny or a puppy. But what about a porcupine? Can you imagine how you'd hug one? Spoiler alert: you do so very gently.

Hug Machine by Scott Campbell
Watch out world! Here comes the Hug Machine! And he has one mission: to hug everything and everyone around him. Our prtoagonist might very well be considered the world's first hug-a-philiac.

Duck and Goose: Goose Needs a Hug by Tad Hills
What does Goose need more than anything else this Valentine's Day? Why, a hug, of course!
