Pocket hugs out in the world.

First days, backpacks, lunchboxes, and a lot of tiny hearts. Send yours and Courtney will add it.

Share yours

Add your family to the wall.

Two steps: send your details here, then email the photo. Courtney looks at every one before it is posted.

What works well

A child with their pocket hug, a first-day photo, a classroom with the book, a pocket hug in a lunchbox. Faces are welcome but not required; a hand holding a heart is a great photo too.

How it is used

On this page, and sometimes on Courtney's Facebook page. First names only, never last names or school names unless a teacher asks for it. Ask any time and it comes down.

Classrooms

Teachers, please make sure you have your school's photo permissions before sending a class photo.
