Sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer our tamariki is connection. The Gift of a Cuddle is a gentle, heart-warming story that celebrates closeness, reassurance, and love - whether you’re snuggled together at bedtime or thinking of someone special from far away.
In this whimsical world, cuddles become characters of their own, offering warmth, comfort, and companionship when it’s needed most.
How this resource supports our tamariki:
Share this story at nightly snuggle time, during moments of separation, or when your child needs a little extra reassurance. Through playful imagery and comforting language, children learn that love can travel with them - offering shelter in a storm, courage in new situations, and a sense of being deeply held, even when loved ones aren’t nearby.
This story opens the door to beautiful kōrero about connection, care, and how we carry the people we love with us throughout the day. It supports emotional security, strengthens attachment, and gently reminds tamariki that they are never alone.
