School is starting in the forest, but Chester Raccoon does not want to go. To help ease Chester's fears, Mrs. Raccoon shares a family secret called The Kissing Hand to give him the reassurance of her love any time his world feels a little scary. Since its first publication in 1993, this heartwarming book has become a children's classic that touches the lives of millions of children and their parents, especially at times of separation, whether starting school, entering daycare, going to camp.
This has been a favorite book in my house for about 11 years now, coming out of the closet with each child. Now Princess A is old enough to understand and enjoy it and I am rediscovering why I love it so much.
The illustrations are gorgeous and eye catching. They have kept all of my children enraptured every time we read it. Most important is the storyline. A mom reminds her child through a simple act of kissing his hand that her love goes with him where ever he is. What child would not benefit from that? Princess A now requests a "kissing hand" whenever we must be apart. It is a great reminder to me that the simplest acts of love can often hold the longest impact.
I highly recommend this book. Princess A and I read it on my Kindle. The illustrations, although black and white, are still gorgeous and she loved it.
