Meet Hank. Hank is a cactus who is just as prickly on the inside as he is on the outside. He likes his personal space and definitely does not like being bothered by the other desert creatures. But one day, after shooing away a tumbleweed, a tortoise, and a jackrabbit, Hank realizes something surprising. It is awfully quiet. Suddenly, this cantankerous cactus decides that what he really wants more than anything else is a hug! But there is a big problem: nobody wants to hug a spiky cactus. How will Hank show the other animals that he has a soft heart underneath all those sharp needles? You will laugh out loud at Hank's hilarious attempts to find a friend in this sweet and funny story about opening up to others.
