This book is great for reading to kids are nervous about starting school for the first time. This story is heartwarming and beautiful. The illustrations used in the story are outstanding. They look more like sketches. All of the pages have illustration colors from edge to edge. The colors used are neutral and settle not too overwhelming. The color used for each page makes the animals look real and alive on the page.

This week we suddenly lost my husband‘s father. It‘s a devastating blow to our family, but also because of the bonds and connections he created we have the support system in place to get us through. My friend‘s sister (a child psychiatrist) recommended these books for our boys. They are so lucky (as all of us are) to have had the 7 years they had with him. We will work to honor his memory and keep him alive in our hearts.

Librarybelle So sorry for your loss 9mo

This is about a raccoon named Chester who is scared of starting Kindergarten and being away from home. He doesn't know what to expect or what is to come and that terrifies him. His mother reassures him that he will make friends, learn new things and have so much fun while at school and he hopes to do just that.

The Kissing Hand is an animal fantasy story by Audrey Penn with illustrations by Ruth E. Harper and Nancy M. Leak. The story is about a little raccoon names Chester that is afraid to go to school because he will miss his mother. Chester‘s mother then gives him a kiss on his hand and tells him that whenever he misses her, he can press that hand to his cheek and it will be like she is there to give him a kiss. This book would do best as a

emilypalkovich storytelling because it is cute and light-hearted. Some activities that go along with this book are linked here: https://www.kindergartenworks.com/kindergarten-teaching-ideas/kissing-hand-freeb.... A UDL principle for this book would be to provide options for language and symbols because the kiss on the hand symbolizes his mother and her love for him. An EL strategy for this book could be number 3: encourage self talk (positive thinking). 3y
emilypalkovich This book could be read on the first day of kindergarten since many students may be nervous and miss their parents. So it is important to encourage self talk and positive thinking. #ucflae3414sp21 3y
DrSpalding Encouraging self talk that is positive is extremely important! We saw a lovely storytelling of this book on Thursday. This belongs in the primary classroom and should be read aloud or even used as a storytelling during the first weeks of school. My own children created their own kissing hands that they kept on their desks at school! 3y
