A self-important but good-hearted toad, with an ample amount of self-love, discovers his love for others in this entertaining, award-winning picture book originally published in Germany. Truman Toad lives in a cozy little apartment, all by himself. In fact, he loves his own company so much that he keeps a giant mirror nearby so that he's never too far from his reflection. After all, who better than himself to spend all his time with! One day, Truman wakes up from the most wonderful dream about the most wonderful hug--and he's determined to make it come true. The quest for the perfect hug has begun... but nothing seems quite perfect enough to Truman: the hugs he gets from his animal friends are too long or too slippery, too soft or too hard, too wild or too gentle. Truman is discouraged. Will he ever find the perfect hug? Charming, quirky, filled with heart and wholly one of a kind, Oren Lavie's story, coupled with Anke Kuhl's delightfully spirited illustrations, will make readers of all ages laugh--and make them think about letting go, letting others in, and the power of hugs!
