This is a book to make everyone smile a bit more, but junior members of your own family in particular. It’s published by Tickled Moon, out and out leaders in personalised books, which means you can put your two favourite young people at the heart of the story. And what a warm and comforting story it is.
After a nightmare, a cuddle is guaranteed to make things better. As more and more people join in (a chance to add other family members and friends directly into the story), the cuddle grows, and by the final pages it is stretching round the whole world, linking everyone up in an outpouring of love so huge, it can be seen from space!
The sentiment is lovely, the rhyming text lots of fun and the illustrations are packed with detail (look out for that dreamy dragonfly hiding on every page). A great book to share, while the magic of personalisation will make it very special indeed.
After a horrible dream, NAME 1(Child) feels that only a cuddle from NAME 2(Adult) will make things better. However, the cuddle isn’t quite enough, even when ALL the family join in. As it bursts out of their door, how far will this cuddle eventually stretch and will it make a difference? And could it become the LONGEST cuddle in the world??!

Alison is the co-founder and writer for Tickled Moon, who create high quality personalised children’s books, with fun, fresh personalisations and original, rhyming stories.
Alison started out following her passion to be an actress and worked in theatre, TV, commercials and voiceovers for several years. Her acting work encompassed everything from the BBC, Miller and Shaw to a fairy, an ugly sister and a dalek! She then expanded into theatre production on the London Fringe, commissioning and producing new plays with her own theatre company.
After teaming up with her husband Simon Roberts, she then ventured into filmmaking with their company Amulet Films. They produced 3 short films, including “Ghosthunter” which was shortlisted for a Live Short Action Academy Award and became the subject of the book “How to Make Great Short Feature Films - the Making of Ghosthunter”.
As well as all her creative enterprises and becoming a mum to 2 boys (the toughest job of all!) Alison also trained in many varied complementary therapies, including NLP, aromatherapy, reiki and quantum psionics.
But throughout all of this she has always loved writing - poetry, plays, screenplays - and now, personalised children’s books with Tickled Moon. She looks forward to creating and publishing many more joyful and original personalised children’s books with them.
