The Runaway Hug is written by Nick Bland and illustrated by Freya Blackwood, two of Australia’s award-winning picture book creators. In the story, Lucy shares the hug with everyone in her family.
Along the way it becomes softer, sleepier, bigger, even peanut-buttery. But when the hug runs away, Lucy discovers that it's not so easy to get it back.

This is a gentle and engaging story with beautiful pencil and water - colour pictures in a muted colour palette which gives the illustrations an appealing softness. This book certainly would leave small readers feeling warm and snuggly and ready for sleep.
