A story for when your toddler (or you) needs a hug – The perfect hug by Joanne Walsh and Judy Abbott

Sometimes, at the end of a long day, or when life is feeling a bit hard, all your toddler might need is a hug. Panda is looking for the perfect hug – what will it be?  

This could be a great story for when it’s time to calm down; your toddler might enjoy looking at the pictures, and maybe even trying out a tickly hug.   

As you look at the book, chat about Panda saying no to the hugs that just aren’t quite right. This will remind your toddler that they can say no if they don’t want a hug, just like Panda does in this story.  

But, instead of focusing on the option to say no, it might just be that sharing this story reminds them that a hug can be the perfect way to unwind!  Buy (via Amazon)
