At the edge of the forest, little raccoon Chester clung tightly to his mother's hand
Tears rolling down his cheeks one after another
Tonight was his first night at school
But Chester didn't want to go at all
He wanted to stay home with his mother, play with his own toys, read his own books, and swing on his favorite little swing
"I'm not going to school," Chester cried, pleading with his mother
"I want to stay home"
Mother didn't rush him
She simply pulled him close and gently touched his ear
She knew that leaving the familiar home and walking into a completely strange place was truly hard for a little raccoon
Mother told him that some things, even if they seem strange and scary at first, still need to be done
Once he actually walked in, Chester would meet new friends, play with new toys, read new books
And discover that school wasn't as scary as he imagined
But Chester still kept his head down
Just then, Mother suddenly said
"I have a secret Maybe it can help you feel as warm at school as you do at home"
Chester lifted his face and wiped his tears
"What secret"
Mother said it was a very old secret
She had learned it from her own mother, and Grandma had learned it from family even longer ago
This secret was called the Kissing Hand
Mother took Chester's left hand, spread his tiny fingers apart one by one, making his palm open like a little fan
Then she leaned down and gently kissed the center of his palm
Chester was stunned at first
Then he felt the kiss travel from his palm, up his arm, over his shoulder, and finally settle into his heart
Even the dark mask on his face felt as if it had been softly touched by a wave of warmth
Mother told him that from now on, if he ever felt lonely or missed her at school, he should press that hand to his cheek and think
Mommy loves you
The kiss would jump to his face and send the warmth back into his heart
Then Mother playfully held his fingers together and warned him to be very careful not to lose the kiss
Chester asked worriedly if washing his hands would wash the kiss away
Mother smiled and told him no, it wouldn't
So Chester closed his hand tightly
He knew that his mother's love would go with him to school
No matter how far school was from home, whenever he wanted, he could find it right there in his palm
Night fell, and the lights of the forest school came on
Chester stood at the school gate, gazing at the tall tree
The little raccoon who had been crying moments ago suddenly turned around and said to his mother, "Give me your hand"
Mother held out her hand
Chester did exactly what Mother had done
He spread her fingers apart one by one, making her palm open like a little fan
Then he leaned down and carefully kissed the center of her palm
"Now you have a Kissing Hand too," he said
Mother looked at him, speechless
Chester waved goodbye to his mother, turned, and ran along the branch toward the school
His steps grew faster and faster, until he was almost dancing on the branches
The owl's bell rang, and the little animals of the forest filed into the school one by one
Mother still stood where she was
She lifted her left hand and pressed the kiss to her cheek
The warmth Chester had left in her palm slowly spread into her heart
In that moment, she seemed to hear a voice coming from her palm
Chester loves you
And up in the tree school, Chester had already walked into the light
