Program Description

Join us for special program just for preschool and early elementary families!  You’ll receive a FREE copy of this month’s picture book along with a simple craft kit to complete together.

This month we will read The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn

"School is starting in the forest, but Chester Raccoon does not want to go. To help ease Chester's fears, Mrs. Raccoon shares a family secret called the Kissing Hand to give him the reassurance of her love any time his world feels a little scary. Since its first publication in 1993, this heartwarming book has become a children's classic that has touched the lives of millions of children and their parents, especially at times of separation, whether starting school, entering daycare, or going to camp. It is widely used by kindergarten teachers on the first day of school. Stickers at the back will help children and their parents keep their Kissing Hand alive."

Books and craft kits will be available while supplies last, so please sign up as soon as you can!

Please register only once per family.

Kits will be available to pick up at your library branch starting on September 18, registered kits not picked up by September 25 will be offered to patrons on the waitlist.
