Fill Your Hug Bank,
Fill Your Heart.
How to Fill Your Hug Bank introduces young readers the invisible “hug bank” we all carry inside of us: the safe place where we store warm fuzzy feelings and cozy thoughts of love and care. Through lyrical rhyme and soft watercolor art, this whimsical story helps kids understand how love, whether it comes from family, friends, pets, or even themselves, can fill them up with calm, comfort, and connection.
