A Kiss Goodbye

The original book- the Kissing hand is by far the best. This was good but does not come close to the original KISSING HAND book.

Chester Raccoon

Chester Raccoon books are a great learning tool for children. I teach Pre-K and my class loves Chester and all of his adventures.

A Kiss Goodbye

My grandson cried each day his mother left him at kindergarten. After his teacher read him this book, his mother kissed his hand for two days and he no longer cried. This is an amazing book for children leaving their mother for the first time.

A heartwarming read-aloud storybook, beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Barbara Leonard

Conference speaker Audrey Penn presents A Kiss Goodbye, the picturebook sequel to "The Kissing Hand" and "A Pocket Full of Kisses", featuring the further adventures of the lovable young Chester Raccoon and his family. In A Kiss Goodbye, Chester encounters an all-too-common dilemma: the trees in his part of the forest are being cut down, and he and his family have to move to a new home. Chester is saddened at having to say goodbye to his faithful old tree, and apprehensive of moving to a strange new tree, but he soon learns that moving isn't all bad and makes friends with a brand-new playmate. A heartwarming read-aloud storybook, beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Barbara Leonard Gibson.

"A Kiss Goodbye" helped my children adjust

We just moved into a new home last week and my daughters were both very sad. Their grandfather brought them a copy of "A Kiss Goodbye" and they absolutley loved the story. They adore chester the raccoon and all of his adventures. The Kissing Hand helped my eldest daughter adjust to a new school, and a Pocket Full of Kisses comforted her when her sister was born. Now A Kiss Goodbye has helped ease the transitions for both of the girls into their new house. We highly recommend this story to all families! M Blitz
