Hand Holds: Love

Written by Fiona Munro and Illustrated by Laura Hambleton

From starting school to traveling, changing routines, or moving to their own bedroom, every child has moments when their family feels far away. Hand Holds: Love helps to ease separation anxiety, with a sweet, rhyming story and a gorgeous, removable cuddly toy to carry around and snuggle.

Meet a family of bears and their friends, as they discover how family love endures, even when loved ones feel far away. Through good days and bad, arguments and time apart, little readers will learn that love always surrounds them.
