A Cuddle and a Cwtch — Sarah KilBride

Snugger than a snuggle, cuddlier than a cuddle,
A cwtch is a heartbeat of love in a huddle.

Cwtch—which rhymes with butch—is a Welsh word used to describe a whole lot of love. This endearing illustrated poem introduces the term to the English language in order to share its healing, human warmth. Sarah Kilbride’s rhyming text introduces the reader to all the ways in which a cwtch can be understood, and just how special a thing it is to share with our loved ones of any age.
