It smells like sunshine. It sounds like whispers. It looks like rainbows . . .It feels like love. Nana made hug blankets for all her family. Each one was special. We love our Nana. A joyful story of family, love and loss, but above all else, love.
NZ Book Awards wrote "A visually bright book that deals with love and the loss of a grandparent in a sensitive and straightforward way. The text does not shy away from using words like ‘died’, ‘coffin’ and ‘graveside’, but softens the impact of these through warm illustrations depicting family images and treasured memories. A wonderfully constructed story that will leave us all reaching for our own Hug Blankets"
