Part of the The Kissing Hand series
A raccoon overcomes fear of shadows with a loving gesture.
Chester Raccoon dreads the shadows cast by the morning sun, making bedtime a challenge. As fear grips him, his mother offers a comforting Kissing Hand, transforming his night into a peaceful slumber. Will Chester find courage in this tender moment, or will the shadows prevail? Discover how love and reassurance can turn fear into calm in this heartwarming tale.
The sun is up, it’s time for little Chester Raccoon to go to bed, but he is frightened by the shadows the sun is creating on the walls. Mrs. Raccoon soothes him with a Kissing Hand, and he is able to go to sleep. This sweet and decidedly unscary board book is both a light-hearted way to calm children’s fears at bedtime, along with a gentle introduction to Chester Raccoon and the Kissing Hand for the younger child. Funny illustrations will gentle the scary-looking shadows in a bedroom.
