An endearing tale of friendship, beautifully illustrated with buoyant wit and the perfect story to share.

Ever feel like you need a hug, a really big hug from someone? 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.

Industry Reviews

This is one of the loveliest and heart-warming stories around, with gorgeous illustrations to boot. A wonderful picture book that deserves a spot on your bookshelves. * Book Trust *

This is a really special read, beautifully illustrated, and laid out in a way to pluck perfectly at heartstrings. A book to make you want to cuddle up and share a big hug with a small person that you love. * Waterstones *

Ciraolo's softly drawn cartoon cacti radiate charm- Felipe has a tiny pink flower on his head and a range of emotive expressions. * Publishers Weekly *
