Book Overview

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 has touched the lives of millions of children and their parents, especially at times of separation, whether starting school, entering daycare, or going to camp. 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.

A classic & perfect story for a little one starting school.

By Britt, October 10, 2024 Verified Purchase

The illustrations are detailed and lovely. My preschooler and I read this before she started school and we also now give each other a “kissing hand kiss” before school.

The kissing Hand ..... This mom's favorite book to read to my kids

By Olivea, January 27, 2021

As a single mom I had to work 2 full time jobs to support my kids. This was a book I read to my kids before bed, sometimes before the start of our day. I would kiss their hand and told them I love them. They are now not so small 13 and 15 years old but I still kiss their hands and they know I am always there.
