Bookroo's summary
In a vibrant jungle, Bobo the chimpanzee desperately seeks a hug, but his simple plea is misunderstood by his animal friends. From chameleons to giraffes, each creature finds comfort with their mothers, leaving Bobo feeling more alone. As his longing grows, concern spreads among his friends. Can the wise elephants guide Bobo to the embrace he craves? This heartwarming tale unfolds through expressive illustrations, celebrating the universal need for love and belonging.
From the publisher
Bobo needs a hug. But his friends don’t seem to understand. “Hug,” he implores, time and again. Time and again his puzzled pals — from the smallest chameleon to the tallest giraffe — shrug and cuddle with their jungle mothers. As the lonely chimp’s plea escalates, his friends grow concerned. Can the elephants lead Bobo to his heart’s desire? Jez Alborough transforms a total of three words — and some of the most tenderly expressive animals ever created — into an endearing tribute to love and belonging.
