There are times in life when all you need to find solace is a small gesture of consolation. 100 Hugs, a collection of everyday comforts, offers such solace. Each hug is a reminder to slow down and take comfort in the little things, from indulging in warm cookies and milk to watching fireflies on a summer evening. Author and watercolor artist Sandy Gingras’s “hugs” are the beacons of light that shine through the fog of everyday life. Hardcover; 72 pages.
