# Nobody Hugs a Cactus - Hardcover

by **Carter Goodrich** (Author), **Carter Goodrich** (Illustrator)

**Celebrated artist and lead character designer of _Brave, Ratatouille_, and _Despicable Me_, Carter Goodrich, shows that sometimes, even the prickliest people--or the crankiest cacti--need a little love.**

Hank is the prickliest cactus in the entire world. He sits in a pot in a window that faces the empty desert, which is just how he likes it. So, when all manner of creatures--from tumbleweed to lizard to owl--come to disturb his peace, Hank is annoyed.

He doesn't like noise, he doesn't like rowdiness, and _definitely_ does not like hugs.

But the thing is, no one is offering one. Who would want to hug a plant so mean? Hank is beginning to discover that being alone can be, well, lonely.

So he comes up with a plan to get the one thing he thought he would never need: a hug from a friend.
