A powerfully simple and sensitively illustrated story which will touch the hearts of young and old readers alike, about the times when we just need a hug.

Ever feel like you just really need a nice, big hug? That’s how Felipe the young cactus feels, but his family just isn’t the touchy-feely kind. Cacti can be quite prickly sometimes you know… and so can Felipe. But he’ll be darned if this one pointy issue will hold him back, so one day Felipe sets off on his own to find a friend and, just maybe, that long awaited hug.
