Written & illustrated by Jen Betton
A prickly hedgehog seeks a hug but finds an unexpected friend instead.
Hedgehog feels down and knows a hug could lift his spirits. Yet, his prickly exterior keeps friends at bay, and Fox's offer seems too sly. Just when hope fades, Hedgehog discovers another forest creature feeling just as lonely. Together, they find the courage for the perfect hug, proving that even the prickliest can find warmth and connection.
Everyone needs hugs, even if they’re prickly. When Hedgehog wakes up feeling down in the snout and droopy in the prickles, he knows a hug will make him feel much better. But none of his animal friends are eager to wrap their arms around Hedgehog’s prickles, and he’s too smart to fall for Fox’s sly offer. Then Hedgehog gets a surprise: Another animal in the forest is feeling exactly the same way. Luckily, both are kind and brave enough for the perfect hug.
