A self-important but good-hearted toad, with an ample amount of self-love, discovers his love for others in this entertaining and charming picture book!

When Truman Toad--the most stubborn, perfectionist toad in Green Grove--wakes up one morning from a dream about the perfect hug, he knows exactly what he must do: find whoever is holding the other half.

With a charmingly witty text by author Oren Lavie and playful illustrations by beloved artist Anke Kuhl, Truman Toad and the Quest for the Perfect Hug is a delightful tale that reminds us that the best things in life will always take us by surprise!
