    How to Build a Hug

    Amy Guglielmo, Jacqueline Tourville

    As a young girl, Temple Grandin loved folding paper kites, making obstacle courses, and building lean-tos. But she really didn’t like hugs.

Would she ever get to enjoy the comfort of a hug? Then one day, Temple had an idea. If she couldn’t receive a hug, she would make one…she would build a hug machine! This book needs to be returned.
