A heart-warming classic for your young reader’s days at school, The Kissing Hand puts the jitters on a family of raccoons. To ease her son’s fears of going to school, his mother introduces the kissing hand to remind him of her love wherever he goes. With the stickers in the back of the book, you can give your young one a kissing hand too!

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.

It is widely used by kindergarten teachers on the first day of school. Stickers at the back will help children and their parents keep their Kissing Hand alive.
