This charming, rhyming picture book tells the story of two gibbons who really love each other but don't always get along. When they are asked to embrace and make up, they start squabbling about whether the embrace is called a Hug or a Cuddle. They then set off on a hilarious, heartwarming adventure, hugging and cuddling other animals as they try to figure it out. And in the end, they realise that it doesn't matter if it's called a Hug or a Cuddle, all they need is each other.
The charming hand drawn illustrations by the hugely talented Antonio 'Atolonia' Ordonez work so well with Mark Pallis' sparkling rhymes. You'll fall in love with these two gibbons for sure!
Message from the Author
As a dad of two young kids, I wished there was a sibling rivalry picture book that wasn't too preachy. I wanted a book that was funny and light, but that still got to the heart of things. I wanted it to be able to spark a conversation about what happened and why, in order to empower kids to think of their own ideas about how to better get along with each other. So this is my answer. A simple story sparked by the idea that sometimes, we can end up disagreeing about nothing at all! I really hope that people enjoy this simple sibling rivalry book.
