How to Build a Hug: Temple Grandin & Her Squeeze Machine

Temple Grandin hated hugs when she was growing up. She wanted to be held, but there was something about hugs that felt terrible, like a combination of the most unpleasant sensations you can imagine. Until one day, Grandin had the idea for a hug machine.

This adorable children's book tells the story of how Grandin made the hug machine and introduces young children to the idea of neurodiversity. Not everyone is alike, and not everyone's brain works in the same way. A powerful picture book about a remarkable person who has done a tremendous amount to make autism spectrum disorder (ASD) better understood and less stigmatized.
