In order to allay his fears his mother kisses the center of his paw and tells him that her kiss goes with him wherever he is and he can press it to his face to feel its warmth and love whenever he feels scared or alone. Summary: A young raccoon (Chester) is afraid of going to school for the first time and being away from home and his mother. The faith talk questions are intended to be used with parents. (I went a little high on the age for this not because I think 8-10 year olds will necessarily want to read this book, but because for older children who read this book previously, a reference to the “kissing hand” may evoke the associated lessons and feelings and could be helpful with children who remain fearful of being away/in new situations). LeakĪudience: The publisher’s intended audience is ages 3-10.
