Children’s Book Giveaway- The Kissing Hand

February 22, 2012 By Heather 3 Comments

The Kissing Hand
by Audrey Penn, Ruth E. Harper (illustrator), Nancy M. Leak (illustrator)
Paperback, 32 pages
Published June 25th 1993
by Child & Family Press

ISBN0878685855

Summary from Gooodreads: Chester Raccoon doesn’t want to go to school–he wants to stay home with his mother. She assures him that he’ll love school–with its promise of new friends, new toys, and new books. Even better, she has a special secret that’s been in the family for years–the Kissing Hand. This secret, she tells him, will make school seem as cozy as home. She takes her son’s hand, spreads his tiny fingers into a fan and kisses his palm–smack dab in the middle: “Chester felt his mother’s kiss rush from his hand, up his arm, and into his heart.” Whenever he feels lonely at school, all he has to do is press his hand to his cheek to feel the warmth of his mother’s kiss. Chester is so pleased with his Kissing Hand that he–in a genuinely touching moment–gives his mom a Kissing Hand, too, to comfort her when he is away. Audrey Penn’s The Kissing Hand, published by the Child Welfare League of America, is just the right book for any child taking that fledgling plunge into preschool–or for any youngster who is temporarily separated from home or loved ones. The rough but endearing raccoon illustrations are as satisfying and soothing for anxious children as the simple story. (Ages 5 and older) –Karin Snelson

    This is so heartwarming and what a wonderful way to leave your child at school or anywhere you’re not going to be.
    I’d love a copy of this book to read to my grandchildren.
