About A Hug So Tight

A fun and engaging children’s picture book that teaches children about sign language as part of a heart-warming story.

Lenny is a cheeky little Loris getting up to mischief in a forest. Follow him on an adventure as he learns how to make friends and be nice!

As you follow Lenny’s journey, keep an eye out for the animals that are communicating in sign language. Use the resource guide in the back of the book to help you learn!

About the Author

I’m Holly, the writer and illustrator of A Hug So Tight and the graphic designer behind Twig. I started Twig with the intention of creating designs with the reader in mind, designs that people could understand and ‘Twig’ onto. I’ve always had a passion for illustration and children’s books and realised that there is a whole group of kids that miss out on the joy of these books. So I started working on my first kid’s book that focused on the hearing impaired with characters that they can understand. This book is the first of many that will help make understanding and learning sign language fun, and it is inspired by my young cousin Theo, who has Down syndrome and a few additional complexities which has affected his ability to learn verbal language.
