Welcome back to our Christmas Gift Guide 2022: How to Send a Hug written by Haley Rocco and Caldecott Honoree John Rocco from Hachette Book Group who sent me a physical copy of How to Send A Hug in exchange for this review and a spot in our Christmas Gift Guide.
I remember as a child attending camp and writing letters to send home. Or as a teenager writing letters to my boyfriend and mailing them. Who knew I would have married that young man. I just wish I had the letters which I could have handed down to Charlie as they were from his dad.
Charlie hasn’t ever written a letter or addressed a envelope but thanks to HOW TO SEND A HUG I’ve found a new project for Charlie. Which is finding someone to write letters for in our Homeschool Creative Writing Class as well as Art Class as he draws pictures to include in the letters.
If your looking for a inspiring children’s book that will teach our children about handwritten letters and the post office then you will want to share HOW TO SEND A HUG with your children. If your looking for a fun unique Christmas Gift this book is the perfect Gift.

HAYLEY ROCCO has loved children’s books her whole life and worked in publishing for more than a decade promoting them. She’s been sending hugs since she was six. It was only natural that she created a book about how to do just that. Hayley lives in Rhode Island with her husband, two cats, and a very excitable dog. This is her first book.
JOHN ROCCO is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of many acclaimed books for children, including Blackout, recipient of the Caldecott Honor and How We Got To The Moon, recipient of the Sibert Honor and Longlisted for the National Book Award. John has been learning to send hugs, and is starting to get pretty good at it.
