The Hug Button cover

When Matilda starts school she misses Mummy. Can a hug button help her adjust to this big change?

Matilda feels sad when Mummy says goodbye to her outside her new school. Maybe what she needs to adjust to this change is a hug button, so she can send Mummy a hug any time she wants to-and get one back!It's Matilda's first day at The Meadows and she's very excited. But when Mummy goes to say goodbye, Matilda isn't happy. She doesn't want Mummy to go. The next day, Mummy has a helpful suggestion. She draws two hug buttons-one on Matilda's wrist and one on her own. Then, when Matilda wants a hug, or wants to give one, she can press the hug button and know that Mummy is thinking about her too. From the award-winning duo, Naomi Jones and Rebecca Ashdown, comes a warm embrace of a book about learning to cope with separation.
