There Will Be Hugs

By Jessica S. Dugas

There Will Be Hugs
A Heartfelt Family Book About Intentional Friendship, Emotional Connection, and the Power of a Hug

Kip and Kora are two koala bears who long for a true, meaningful friendship. One quiet night under the full moon, they each make a wish - not just for any friend, but for the kind of connection that sees them, accepts them, and makes them feel truly loved. Though they live far apart, their hearts lead them to one another... and to the beginning of something special.

There Will Be Hugs is a beautifully illustrated story that celebrates the power of creating and nurturing intentional friendships - the kind that don't happen by accident, but by the choice to show up, love fully, and embrace one another through all of life's feelings.

Inspired by the real-life friendship between author Jessica Dugas and illustrator Brittany Floyd, this book is a reminder that we are all deserving of meaningful connection. And in this fast-paced digital world, it also gently reminds us of something simple but profound: the power of a hug.

Perfect for:

Families who value emotional awareness and connection

Encouraging conversations about friendship, love, and belonging

Classroom read-alouds and group discussions

Anyone who believes, at any age, that love - and hugs - make life better

More than a children's book, There Will Be Hugs is a story for all ages - a hug in book form, and a tribute to the friendships that change our lives for the better.

A timeless gift of love, intention, and connection - for every bookshelf.
