There was once a bear so filled with love and happiness that whenever he came across another living thing, he would give it a hug. Trees were his favourite: he just had to hug them! But one day he crossed paths with a man wielding a tree-cutting axe. Suddenly the bear didn't have much of an appetite for affection. A fable that deftly lands its message - with a good dose of humour - that trees matter and hugs can heal.
