Hug
by Jez Alborough
Bobo the chimp wanders sadly around the jungle looking for someone to hug, but all the animals are already cuddling someone else. With minimal text, the reader is encouraged to explore the wonderful illustrations, which speak volumes about Bobo's feelings. A lovely board book, which will surely provoke lots of hugs!

Jez Alborough was born and grew up in Kingston-upon-Thames. He loved drawing and painting from an early age and always wanted to be an artist. 'I used to love the exercise books which had one blank page opposite one lined page. It was like an invitation to me to write a story and draw the illustrations.' Jez didn't much like secondary school, but going to art college in Norwich was a much happier experience: 'It felt like freedom. Having the time and space to do what I wanted to do was so uplifting. 'He graduated with a BA Honours degree in Graphic Design.
