  I love the artwork, it's lovely, adorable and helps to bring the story across nicely. The inspirational messages within was easy to understand hence would be great for young children. Even grownups could flip-tru it especially when life gets tough, it would surely help to put things into better perspective and potentially renew hope. With hope, we could try again and again until we succeed. You call the quits now, you fail the moment you stop trying.
  
  I hope my boy has taken Nick's heartfelt messages to heart and start believing in himself. I too should start recognizing my own potential.
  
  Everyone needs a hug or a pat on their backs every now and then. Since it's free why not give it out every chance you get?
  
  I would recommend this book to all parents to share with their kids. Might not be instant life-changing but it is never too early or late to plant the good seed.

  "Give Me a Hug" is an illustrated storybook based on the true story of a limbless Australian motivational speaker, Nick Vujicic.
  
  

  "Whether your life is happy or not is your own choice.
  Many people think I can't live a normal life because
  I don't have arms or legs.
  I could choose to believe that and give up trying.
  I could stay at home and wait for others to take care of me.
  Instead, I choose to believe that I can do anything,
  and I always try to do things my own way.
  I choose to be happy.
  I am happy because I am always thankful."

  PREVIOUS COMMENT:
  I've just bought this lovely Hardcover book a moment ago when I was at the local mall. Can't resist the beautiful of the artwork and the story. Plus the 25% discount was compelling me to make it mine -- So I did.

  Sweet and heartwarming. Sometimes we need to pick up a kid's book to feel inspired and lively again.

  At first I though there were only 3 books of Nick, then when I saw this on Tiki.vn (which is a famous online shopping website at Vietnam) I was so excited!
  
  This is absolutetly a book for children, and very suitable for Children Month (June). Not only the illutrations are good, the texts are also brief, simple and understandable (for children, of course!). I bought it for my little brother hoping that he could learn something.
  
  In addition, I love this book cover. It completely conveys the message that "Give me a hug" wants to share. A three-year-old little girl who really wanted to hug Nick, and then she hugged him, with both hands at her back as if she aliked him. So touching! ♥
  
  Believe me, this was really a cute must-read book! ♥

  I like the way the book is set out and it is really easy to read and can be read to and by children, but it spoke to me only for a little and then seemed to get preachy.
  
  Each to their own. It's a good book to have a look at and doesn't take long to read. I only took a while because a kid wanted the book just after I started reading and I thought it was more important that they read it than me, given that I have the whole library and they are still finding their love of reading.

  While this is a kids' book; I think adults would much benefit from it. Nick's story is condensed here and written in a non-preachy manner; complete with beautiful illustrations. Reminds me of La petit Prince, in a way.
  
  A book that you can read in 10 minutes, but the life lessons will stay with you a lifetime- or as you need it can be re-read easily as repeated doses.

  This book is really inspiring and easy to be read by even a kid. I use the illustration in this book in my teaching on Sunday School. And I see that Nick is trying to teach some important lesson about accepting and giving thanks as early as possible to all the reader.
  
  I really like this book.
