"We'll never be apart." "Just press your hand upon your cheek and
feel that loving glow. It's Mommy saying, 'I love you,' wherever
you may go." The Kissing Hand has become a children's classic that
has touched the lives of millions of children and their parents. A
Kissing Hand for Chester Raccoon conveys the heart of the story in
rhyming verse, perfect for read-aloud and easy for even the little
ones to remember and recite. With illustrations by Barbara Gibson
that capture the warmth and beauty of the original artwork,
toddlers now share in the benefits from Mrs. Raccoon's secret for

In this latest addition to the Kissing Hand book collection,
Chester Raccoon must learn to deal with another common problem of
childhood: a bully at school. When Mrs. Raccoon learns that there
is a bully problem at school, she decides to investigate the
situation. But after seeing the bully for herself, she shares a
story about a forest that was full of smooth yellow stones, and how
the animals living there changed a pointy stone they found into a
smooth stone so that it wouldn't hurt any tender paws. Chester,
Ronny, and Cassy follow the spirit of Mrs. Raccoon's story when
they next encounter the Bully. Approaching him as a group, they
invite him to play, proving that the best way to get rid of an
enemy is to make him or her a friend. This book encourages children
to understand that many child bullies are themselves unhappy and
gives readers a good example of settling differences by peaceful
means. Educators will embrace this story about a positive strategy
for dealing with a bully.
