What if your child had a simple, comforting way to understand big feelings?

How to Fill Your Hug Bank offers young readers exactly that.

A hug bank is a little jar inside your heart that holds love and comfort. You fill it up with all kinds of hugs-big hugs, silly hugs, gentle hugs, even no-touch hugs or long-distance hugs-from people you love.

When you feel sad, mad, or overwhelmed, you can take out a hug to help your body feel calm again. And when your hug bank is empty, you can fill it back up with a hug from a grown-up, friend, pet, or even yourself.

Perfect for bedtime, classrooms, and everyday emotional support, How to Fill Your Hug Bank teaches children that love is always within reach, even on hard days.

What kids will discover inside:
  • How to fill their hug bank with love from family, friends, pets, and themselves
  • Ways to use stored hugs to cope with big feelings like frustration, worry, or loneliness
  • That love can be given, received, and shared in a variety of ways, even from far away

Perfect for:
  • Bedtime routines
  • Social-emotional learning (SEL) at home or in the classroom
  • Parents, teachers, therapists, and caregivers supporting sensitive or anxious children
Why families & educators love this book:
  • Teaches emotional regulation in a simple, memorable way
  • Encourages empathy, connection, and self-soothing
  • Supports children through big feelings
  • Builds confidence and emotional vocabulary
