Bookroo's summary

Mama Bear and Little Bear face the challenge of staying connected when apart. As they explore ways to hold onto their love, Little Bear's idea of a Kiss Box filled with kisses becomes their perfect solution. Whether it's a trip to the store or the first day of school, this heartwarming tale reminds us that love transcends distance, keeping us together where it truly counts.

From the publisher

A reassuring story about separation and love In this soothing love story between mother and child, Mama Bear offers various vessels to contain their love while they are apart–but none seem right. It’s not until Little Bear suggests that they make each other a Kiss Box–filled with a hundred kisses–that they are able to stay connected–no matter where they are. Whether it be an errand to the grocery store, a business trip, or the first day of school, this is a tender reminder that we are always together where it matters most: in our hearts.
