**Thank you to NetGalley, author Judi Moreillon, and Star Bright Books for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.** 

This book is so so important. Many people don't realize how hard hugging can be for some individuals, and this book offers many great ways to exchange a hug for a new and different form of treating. 

The cast of characters is representative, and there are multiple substitutes for hugs that are offered. I really appreciate that the author further elaborates on why this is important in the back of the book as this can hopefully help people understand how scary and difficult hugging can be. 

I think this is a book that adults and children should read.
