Sometimes all you need is a hug.

“I need a hug. Will you cuddle me, Lou?”

“What? With those spikes? Get away from me! Shoo!”

All the little porcupine wants is a hug, but with such prickly spikes will she ever get the cuddle she craves?

An adorable new story from Aaron Blabey, the creator of Pig the Pug and Thelma the Unicorn!
