The Kissing Hand (The Kissing Hand Series)

"The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn is a timeless tale that touches the hearts of both children and parents alike with its heartfelt message of love, reassurance, and courage. As a parent, seeing your child off to school or daycare for the first time can be a daunting experience, and this book provides a tender and comforting way to address those feelings. Penn's story follows the adorable little raccoon, Chester, who is nervous about starting school and being away from his mother 🦝. Through the gentle guidance of his mother, Mrs. Raccoon, Chester learns about the power of a "kissing hand" - a special gesture that reminds him of his mother's love and gives him the courage to face new experiences. The emotional depth of this story is beautifully captured through the expressive illustrations and the loving bond between Chester and his mother 💕. As they navigate the challenges of separation and independence, readers are reminded of the enduring strength of a parent's love and the importance of finding comfort in cherished rituals. What makes "The Kissing Hand" truly special is its ability to resonate with both children and parents on a profound level. For children, it offers reassurance and a sense of security during times of transition, while for parents, it serves as a poignant reminder of the unconditional love and support we provide for our little ones. 💖

Beautiful book! I bought it for my daughter to help with goodbyes at daycare and she love it. It get the message accross perfectly.

Such a sweet and comforting story, especially for little ones starting school or dealing with separation from a parent. We got this for kindergarten and really enjoyed it. It has such a reassuring message and is a great book to read together before a big transition.

Great for a night before school read.

You will love this story. It will help a little one know that their Mommy will always be with them as they grow up.

Wonderful book. I read it to the congregation where I was preaching. It’s a good book for any age. I recommend it.

I have bought about 8 books about pre K preparation, kindergarten, transitions and change and this one is by FAR the best book I’ve read. It is so sweet and the concept is so simple. As soon as we read it my son asked that we kiss each other’s hand and put it to our cheeks. I know he will use this whenever he’s missing me. So cute!

Highly recommend for young children. My 3 year old grandson (now 4) was having issues with separating and he has really taken to this book. The story is about an animal having anxiety about starting school but can be used to deal with separating in general not just for parents but grandparents as well. There are cute little heart stickers in the back of the book also which he enjoys.

Que hermosura de libro. Hace toda la diferencia cuando uno busca que sus hijas vayan tranquilas a su primer día de clase o inclusive a cualquier actividad sin su mamá

It’s a sweet story book. All mothers and their Chester raccoons are gonna enjoy it.

Nous l'utilisons en parallèle avec l'ecole pour travailler sur la separation du matin en petite section. La petite reconnais le livre de l'ecole et aime bien ecouter l'histoire.

PRECIOSO LIBRO REGALO IDEAL PARA TODO NIÑO
