Chester Raccoon is scared about going to school and would rather stay home with his mother. As a way to comfort him, the mother kisses her son’s hand to show that her kiss will always be with him whenever he is feeling scared and lonely; representing a reminder that he is loved.
This one is definitely a favorite from my childhood. It is filled with beautiful artwork and a loving story about family. It is a great way to teach kids how to handle separation from parents/guardians, and growing up.
