Synopsis

A hug feels good.
Let's hug again.
We'll hug at nine.
We'll hug at ten.
When is it time for a hug? Anytime! This feel-good story—now in paperback—assures kids there's plenty of love to go around the clock.
From the moment Little Bunny wakes up in the morning until the moon comes out and the stars shine, every hour includes a warm hug from Big Bunny. Whether they bake or build, bike or hike, a caring hug always feels just right. This is a book that is generous with love, and full of the sweetest illustrations you've ever seen.

About the Author:

Phillis Gershator has written many picture books for children, including When It Starts to Snow (Henry Holt), Rata-Pata-Scata-Fata (Star Bright), Time for a Hug, and Time for a Bath (both Sterling). Her mother, Mim Green, who was an artist, puppeteer, and champion hugger, inspired the Time for a Hug collaboration. The pair also collaborated on Who's Awake in Springtime?

She lives with her husband and frequent coauthor, David, in the US Virgin Islands. For more information about Phillis and her coauthor Mim Green, see phillis.gershator.com.  David Walker is the illustrator of numerous children's books, including The Night Parade (Scholastic), Bears on Chairs (Candlewick), Time For a Hug, and Time For a Bath (both Sterling), to name a few.

Review:

"[A] sweet, brief rhyming tale celebrating hugs at any hour of the day . .  . The pleasingly predictable rhyme will have preschoolers chiming in all the way to the page where the covers are pulled up. Worth a pause and may well inspire a hug or two." —Kirkus Reviews
