Some thoughts just won't let go — and little ones feel that too. The Hug Who Got Stuck is an award-winning children's bedtime story that gently teaches kids ages 3 to 8 how to move through sticky thoughts, reconnect with their heart, and feel at ease. It's a book that works just as much for tired parents as it does for little ones — and it makes a truly thoughtful gift for any family.
Follow Hug — born in the magical Hug Factory — as it journeys past The Web of Sticky Thoughts to reach the heart it was made for. Along the way, children discover that letting go of resistance is how love finds its way through.
