BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL.
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A little girl and her dad are walking in nature and discussing what a hug feels like and what elements of nature resemble a hug - a bird’s egg, a cocoon, a flower bud. They use each element to explain how a hug feels.
The illustrations in this book are very sweet and the text is soothing. It feels like a lullaby and would be an excellent choice for a simple good night read. It could potentially be used in the classroom to talk about metaphors.
