Ten Year Anniversary!
Ten Year Anniversary!
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Hedgehugs, Lucy Tapper and Steve Wilson's beloved children's book series, fans are treated to a special milestone edition of the first heart-warming tale.
Since its debut in 2014, Hedgehugs has captured the imaginations of young readers around the world.
The charming story follows Horace and Hattie, two hedgehog friends who love to do everything together, but there is one thing they cannot do… they cannot hug! They are just too spiky.
The book follows the pair as they try to find new, creative and less prickly ways to hug.
Over the past decade, the story has become a cherished favourite for its endearing illustrations and its message of friendship and perseverance.
The anniversary edition celebrates this decade of joy and features beautiful new illustrations, honouring the book’s original impact, success and the enduring appeal of Horace and Hattie’s delightful adventures!

From its earliest beginnings in a Devon garden, to becoming published, to the global sensation we see today, enjoy a timeline of Hedgehugs, from sketchbook to success story, here.
