This lovely book was intruduced to me by another teacher at my school when I was a first year kindergarten teacher. It is a heart-warming story talking about a little raccoon Chester who is ready to start school. He has all kinds of doubts and fears, just like any primary aged children before their first day of school. Chester's mom came up with a great idea to help him feel loved and secured by giving him a kiss in the hand. Whenever Chester feels lonely or scared, he can just hold up his hand to his face, the he will feel mommy's love even when she is not around.
I read this book to my son when he was 3, right before he started prescool. We both loved this story and read it several times together. The little guy even noticed from the illustration that Chester is going to school at night and his teacher is an owl. It has been almost two years since we first read the story. But we still do the kissing hand every night before he goes to bed!
Hope you'll find this book and enjoy it as much as we do!
