Do you ever just need a hug? Well this beautiful picture book feels very much like a big, warm family hug.
In their playful, witty and heartfelt debut collaboration, author Michael Wagner and illustrator Adam Carruthers perfectly capture what makes families so wonderful: support through bad days; closeness and fun when things are going great; a sense of place in the world; and unconditional, unquestioning, unending love.
Suitable for pre-schoolers and early school-aged children, Family Hugs delights the senses, warms the heart, and tickles the funnybone, but also provides much to reflect upon about what makes families so important.
Sometimes there's so much love, you have to have a family hug.
Michael Wagner is the author of more than 80 books for children including the much-loved Maxx Rumble series, the CBCA Notable picture books Why I Love Footy, Why I Love Summer and Bear Make Den (which he co-authored with Jane Godwin) and the So Wrong series which was shortlisted for multiple children's choice awards in 2019 and 2020.
