Adam King stole the hearts of the nation when he introduced us to his Virtual Hug at the Toy Show in November 2020. It gained the attention of the world from NASA to Joe Biden and beyond.

For the rest of us it has become a national symbol of love and positivity. And now Adam and Dad David have written a book inspired by that hug travelling around the world.

Adam and his Dad David joined Paula MacSweeney (in for Alison) on Weekend Breakfast:

00:00:00 / 00:00:00

The book is shortlisted in the Children's Book Of The Year (Junior category) for the An Post Irish Book Awards.
