A beautiful book about managing anger from the bestselling creators of While We Can’t Hug.

There were so many things that Tortoise wanted to do.
So many games to play and rocks to climb.

Oops.

Tortoise was stuck.
Tortoise was not happy.

Tortoise is not having a good day and now he’s stuck in a hole and and is far too cross for hugs. Hedgehog sits and waits and then makes Tortoise laugh – taking the time to let the moment pass, and acknowledge how Tortoise feels.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"McLaughlin and Dunbar have, once again, with simple text and soft watercolors depicting pudgy woodland creatures, effectively explained a complex topic...A tender reminder that when even a hug won’t help, friends are always there." — Kirkus

Eoin McLaughlin is a bestselling Irish children's author.

His debut picture book 'The Hug' (with Polly Dunbar) was named a ‘Book of the Year’ by The Guardian and has been translated into over 20 languages.

The follow-up 'While We Can't Hug' was shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards and nominated for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal. It was also included in The Guardian's 'Children's Books of the Year' and read by Mr Tumble on the BBC on Christmas Day.

A sequel, The Longer the Wait, the Bigger the Hug is out now.

The Case of the Missing Cake (with Marc Boutavant) featured in The Guardian's best new children's books of the month. The Irish Times called it "Sneaky", which Eoin agrees with. A second book with Marc is on the way.

Eoin is also a creative director at Channel 4, where he works on the promotion of things like The Great British Bake Off and The Paralympics.

Col
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for that anger emotion
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2023
I read this to my 3.5 yr old right after she had a tantrum (big angry feelings) and by the end of the book, she was feeling much better and laughing. Great read, short enough to hold attention and great at naming that all-too-common feeling of frustration & anger when the little ones aren't in control of what's happening.
