Bookroo's summary

Slug is puzzled by his mom's lack of hugs and sets off on a quest for answers. With advice from Kitten and Bird, he dons a woolly hat and a beak, transforming his look. But will these changes earn him the hug he longs for, or is there more to love than appearances? Discover Slug's heartwarming journey to find out if a hug is just a change away.

From the publisher

When it begins to bug Slug that his mom doesn’t hug him, he leaves home to find out why. Kitten suggests he should be furrier, so he puts on a woolly hat while Bird suggests he needs a beak. Soon, Slug has a new look. Will his mom hug him now?
