About this book

The first day of 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 by giving him a warm, gentle kiss right in the middle of his little raccoon hand. Mrs. Raccoon tells Chester that any time he feels lonely or overwhelmed, he can place his palm with the kiss on his cheek and he will know his mother loves him. Chester gives the same reassuring kiss to his mother's palm then happily joins the rest of the nighttime animals in the great tree. Both Chester and Mrs. Raccoon learn that their love is deep, endless and always present on this important day in both their lives.
