Yuki is a little girl who wakes up one morning determined to give her mother one hundred hugs. With her colorful Hug Counter Chart in hand, she starts counting, but every hug brings its own little adventure—a sleepy morning hug, a sticky jam-covered hug, a sorry hug after a tantrum, and many more. Along the way, stickers get stuck to her nose, she loses count while reading about bunnies, and she hugs so fast while building blocks that she forgets the numbers entirely. As the day winds down and bedtime approaches, Yuki snuggles into her mother's arms for one last cozy hug, wondering if she's reached one hundred. Her mother holds her tight and whispers that every hug matters—and that Yuki has given her more than one hundred hugs already. This heartwarming story, filled with playful illustrations and tender moments, celebrates the simple, endless love between a child and a parent, reminding readers that sometimes the best counting is done not with numbers, but with love.
