About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is experiencing a physical separation from a loved one or learning how a single act of kindness can create a positive ripple effect. It provides a gentle, humorous way to talk about staying connected through distance and the joy of sharing affection with others. The story follows a thank-you kiss sent from Grandmother Bear to Little Bear through a chain of animal messengers. Along the way, the kiss causes a few silly mix-ups, specifically when two skunks decide to keep the kiss for themselves. This classic story from the Little Bear series uses warmth and repetition to reassure children ages 3 to 7 that love is constant, even when family members are apart. It is a perfect choice for modeling how we can pass on goodness to those around us.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and gentle. It touches on romantic interest between the skunks, but it is handled with innocent, slapstick humor appropriate for preschoolers.
