HONG KONG, July 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new picture book for children that includes rhyming and humor, “Sam Learns to Hug” (published by Partridge Singapore) by Diana Duncan shares the story of a 10-year-old boy named Sam who learns to hug from a most unlikely character, an adopted rescue dog.
Sam’s mother is sad because he won’t hug other people in the family; just her and dad. When the family adopts a dog, Monty, who has been mistreated and doesn’t know how to trust or cuddle people, he soon teaches Sam a lesson. He shows him that hugging others isn’t that hard.
“With lots of kids facing difficulties in a very challenging world, such as autistic kids or just kids who may not find it easy to express their emotions physically; schools and parents need insightful books they can share and read with their children,” Duncan says, adding that “Enjoyment, laughter, and appreciation of rhyme and an empathy with Sam” are all things she hopes her readers take away from the book.
