A Hug For You
Join Adam and his loyal friend and first teddy, Bubby, on the journey of the Virtual Hug.
Adam King stole the hearts of the nation when he appeared on the Late Late Toy Show in 2020. He introduced us to the Virtual Hug, a heart-shaped sign he carried during the COVID-19 pandemic to help him stay connected to his teacher while he was learning from home. He also took it to his regular hospital appointments to show his doctors, nurses, and care staff that he was still giving them a hug, just in a different way.
This book, inspired by true events, tells the story of one little boy with a big idea that came straight from the heart. From the Late Late Toy Show, the virtual hug makes its way onto mugs, postage stamps and even all the way to outer space, spreading warmth and connection to people all over the world.

I remember the 1st time I saw this precious little boy was on The Christmas Late Late Show. If everyone in the world could be as brave, kind and loving as this little boy we probably wouldn't b heading towards WWIII. Everyone should read this book and take to Heart the lesson in it

The true story of the Virtual Hug that was started by an Irish boy when he had to switch to online learning in 2020 due to the pandemic. Can be used to show the ripples from a single act of kindness.
