Big Bear Hug by Nicholas Oldland
Bear loves to give hugs to any and everything, but especially to trees. When a man comes into the woods and starts to chop down a tree, bear doesn't know what to do. Or does he?
The illustrations in this are hilarious. I love the expressions of the surprised animals getting hugged. The solution to the issue is quite funny too.

Hug Machine by Scott Campbell
The Hug Machine lives for hugs, he is very good at them, and he doesn't discriminate about who gets his hugs. He hugs the young and the old and the prickly and even the metallic or wooden. But sometimes, even the Hug Machine gets tired and needs a hug of his own.
This little boy spreads cheer wherever he goes. Some of the hugs are a little silly, but his heart seems to be in the right place.

Hug Me by Simona Ciraolo
Felipe is a cactus. He comes from a family that's prim, proper, and not very touchy feely. That doesn't change the fact that Felipe longs for a hug. After one disastrous friendship, he eventually gives up on his desire, so he says, but then he meets the perfect friend. A cute story with a warning about choosing friends wisely or getting too emotionally calloused.

Hold Hands by Sara Varon
A rhyming picture book celebration of all the times and situations when it is good to hold hands.
The holding hands situations covered in this book include things like companionship, safety, solidarity, friendship, love, lending bravery, care, and bittersweet moments. It’s a cute picture book with Varon’s signature style of animal characters and kids will likely eat it up. There are lots of picture books about hugs and kisses out there, but I can’t think of another one about holding hands.
