All I Needed Was a Hug is the story of a day in the life of a lovable, curious toddler named Mallie. She is easily distracted and becomes inventive when left on her own. Mom is busy with her daily activities, so Mallie finds ways to keep herself busy. Finally, after a few minor mishaps, Mom realizes she needs to take the time for what is really the most important part of her day--showing Mallie that she is the most important part of her day.

"Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones.

For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father." (Matthew 18:10)
