So many to hug before it got dark!"
Here's a little book that I will be ordering for new babies, or loved ones for Valentine's Day since Christmas has come and gone. Patrick McDonnell is so good with these adorable cartoon characters. I love seeing them!
Young ones will rock to the beat of the rhythmic text and the accompanying love-infused artwork. What a great premise for changing our world for the better:
"There once was a kitten so filled with love
He wanted to give the whole world a hug."
Ah, I would take one of those anytime. The older I get the more important they become, and hugs mean a lot more to me now than gifts do. I have always been a hugger, to the great consternation of my kids when they were younger. They seem quite happy to accept them now. I love the close feeling you get when you give someone you care about a gentle reminder that they are loved.
As we say farewell to Christmas for another year and prepare to welcome a new year, the message of this little book has much to say about changing the world one hug at a time;
"There was no one this kitten wanted to miss,
So he made (and he checked twice) a Hug-To-Do List. "
I'm going to get at mine, and I hope you think about doing the same thing! The world is going to be a better place. Get yourself a couple of copies and be prepared the next time you think that someone might appreciate a hug....and a book!
