오웬은 멀리 떨어져 사는 할머니에게 생일 선물을 보내려고 합니다. 오웬이 보내려는 선물은 무려 "Giant Hug"... 두 팔을 활짝 벌려서 할머니를 꼭 껴안아 주는 것이죠. 그런데 이 Giant Hug을 어떻게 보내야 할까요? 엄마는 할머니를 꼭 껴안아주는 그림을 우편으로 보내는 걸로 생각했습니다만, 오웬은 진짜 Giant Hug을 우편으로 보내고 싶어 합니다.
오웬이 생각해낸 방법은... 우선 할머니에게 생일 축하 엽서를 쓴 후, 우체국에 가져가서 접수직원을 꼭 껴안아주고, 이 Giant Hug를 엽서의 주소에 있는 할머니에게 전해 달라고 부탁하는 것입니다.
친절한 우체국 접수직원은 Giant Hug의 배달을 한번 시도해 보기로 합니다. 접수 직원은 분류 직원을 꼭 껴안아주고, 분류 직원은 우편물을 대도시 우체국(집중국)으로 운반하는 운전직원을 꼭 껴안아주고 이런 방식으로 우체국 운전직원 -> 집중국 운전직원 -> 우편항공기 조종사 -> 도착지 우체국트럭 운전사 -> 도착지 우체국 직원 -> 배달직원 -> 할머니에게로 차례로 Giant Hug가 전달됩니다.
이 세상에서 가장 기쁜 생일 선물을 받은 할머니가 손자에게 답장으로 보낸 선물도 깜찍하고 재미있네요^^

Book Description
How do you give your granny a hug when she lives far away? Send it through the mail, of course!
Owen’s hug travels across the country in a series of hilarious, sometimes awkward, always heartfelt embraces between animals of different shapes and sizes. Valeri Gorbachev’s adorable artwork pairs beautifully with Sandra Horning’s charming text, and makes for a fun, funny, and educational read-aloud. An unexpected twist at the end will delight readers and have kids asking for this book again and again.
School Library Journal
When Owen the pig decides to send a hug to his grandmother, a mere drawing of one just won't do. At the post office, he gives the clerk Granny's address along with an affectionate embrace. That hug is passed from postal employee to pilot to driver to mail deliverer as it travels cross-country, inadvertently bringing cheer and a little extra caring into the workers' lives. In the satisfying ending, Granny sends a kiss back to Owen by bussing her mail carrier. As readers follow the hug's progress, they learn about the path a letter takes and the individuals involved in getting it from sender to receiver. The pen-and-watercolor illustrations are filled with warm colors. The expressions on the characters' faces put one in mind of Richard Scarry's artwork, although the animals here are much larger. While some of the more subtle reactions and embarrassment evinced by the huggers may pass right over children's heads, the reactions of the recipients will delight them. Pair this slightly wordy tale with Don Carter's Send It! (Millbrook, 2003) and Gail Gibbons's The Post Office Book (HarperCollins, 1982) for sprightly glimpses into the mail and how it moves.
Booklist
Even if you take Woody Guthrie's "Mail Myself to You" literally, it's difficult to express the depth and breadth of affection through postal-service channels. But Owen, a young pig, is determined to send his grandmother "a GIANT hug" for her birthday. So he hugs the postal clerk and offers these instructions: "Please make the hug just as giant when you pass it on to the mailman." So begins a transcontinental hug relay. Gorbachev's cast of animal characters, drawn with a Richard Scarry-like sense of whimsy, are well chosen to emphasize the relevant personality traits, with the jolly bear airplane captain giving a hearty embrace, and the porcupine truck driver doing the job with prickly reluctance. In a world increasingly reliant on cyber communication, this story may rapidly lose its relevance. For the time being, though, it's ideal for revving up kids' enthusiasm for post-office field trips--and postal workers certainly deserve the good press.
Publishers Weekly
HORNING SERVES UP a cheerful and heartwarming scenario sure to capture the imagination of little ones and those who dote on them. Her kind, respectful animal characters have just the right touch of credibility, making this perfectly pleasant world seem possible. Gorbachev’s ink-andwatercolor artwork charms, featuring a menagerie of friendly, helpful
critters.
