Mama's Kiss by Jane Yolen

Posted by Elizabeth Yetter Oct 29, 2008

Looking for the perfect “I love you” book for your little girl? Whether you want to tell your daughter you love her on Valentine’s Day or you want her to know that she’s special everyday, check out the latest book by Jane Yolen called Mama’s Kiss (Chronicle Kids, ISBN 978-0-8118-6683-5).

Mama’s Kiss begins with a kiss. Mom throws a smooch through the air towards her daughter, but the kiss misses and goes straight towards the baby. Baby burps and sends the kiss flying out the open window where the wayward kiss gets passed around from a dog, a cat, a bee, a bear, and then back to a person. Eventually, the kiss finds its way back to the daughter.

Mama’s Kiss is one of the happiest children’s books I’ve read in a while. It’s sweet, easy to read, and makes a special gift to the girl you love most.
