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.
