Magically， the day I put this on our list， a copy arrived courtesy of my mother in law。 It is such a sweet story and will be very helpful in preparing M to start preschool in the fall。 She seems to like it。

This book's illustrations are gorgeous and its sweet story would be wonderful to read to young children who are nervous about starting their first days of school。 This book's illustrations are gorgeous and its sweet story would be wonderful to read to young children who are nervous about starting their first days of school。 。。。more

A great story for the beginning of the school year for Kinders。 It is the story of the love between and mother and child。 Mother raccoon provides her baby with a secret kiss to help him deal with the fear of going to school。 In return he provides his mama with a way to feel his love if she misses him while he is gone at school。 Super cute and quick read。

As the foreword says， “The Kissing Hand is a story for any child who confronts a difficult situation， and for a child within each of us who sometimes needs reassurance。。。a child entering a new school or going away to camp， a child entering foster care or residential care， a child facing a temporary separation from loved ones or the death of a parent， grandparent， or other special person， even a fearful adult， will find reassurance in these pages。”I did not discover The Kissing Hand until I was a As the foreword says， “The Kissing Hand is a story for any child who confronts a difficult situation， and for a child within each of us who sometimes needs reassurance。。。a child entering a new school or going away to camp， a child entering foster care or residential care， a child facing a temporary separation from loved ones or the death of a parent， grandparent， or other special person， even a fearful adult， will find reassurance in these pages。”I did not discover The Kissing Hand until I was an adult， and I will definitely use the kissing hand technique and read The Kissing Hand book to my future children。 。。。more

Great book about being scared to go to school on the first day。 I feel this book will be relatable to many students。 However it may be too young of an audience for the grades that I want to teach。 Great illustrations！ I might have this in my classroom。

tA lot of children can relate to this book about feeling as if you don’t want to leave your family and go to a place you are unfamiliar with and not knowing anyone。 However， with the help of his mother， no matter where he is， she will always exist。 He plucked up the courage and hoped that he could see her again。

I love the message in this book。 This book shows the love that a mother has for her child。 I would use this book at the beginning of the school year for students who are missing their mother/parents when they get to school。

To ease Chester Raccoons fears about going to school， his mother gives him a kiss on his hand that stays with him all day: reassuring him that his mother loves him。A beautiful story about love and support when doing difficult or scary things。 Great to read to a child before they are starting school， but the sentiment will work for any situation。

This book is about Chester the raccoon and how he is going off to school for the first time。 He is worried about missing his mom while he is gone so she teaches him about an old family secret that will help him when he is missing her。 The illustrations in this book are very calm and comforting。 This makes something like leaving for school for the first time; an otherwise scary situation， and making it comforting for kids。 I would give this 5 stars。 This would be a great story to read with your f This book is about Chester the raccoon and how he is going off to school for the first time。 He is worried about missing his mom while he is gone so she teaches him about an old family secret that will help him when he is missing her。 The illustrations in this book are very calm and comforting。 This makes something like leaving for school for the first time; an otherwise scary situation， and making it comforting for kids。 I would give this 5 stars。 This would be a great story to read with your family the day before making a big life change like this。 This is often a worry kids have with going to school and this story could show you that they are not the only ones struggling with this。 It could bring them comfort in scary times like these。 。。。more

This is such a cute little book。 I love the idea of the racoon kissing her child's hand and that whenever he feels homesick/heartsick he can remember that。 The pictures are incredible and now I know why kids and teachers love this book。 This is such a cute little book。 I love the idea of the racoon kissing her child's hand and that whenever he feels homesick/heartsick he can remember that。 The pictures are incredible and now I know why kids and teachers love this book。 。。。more
