Join Bonnie Vergurg for a reading of her delightful new book, The Kiss Box, and make your own Kiss Box craft -- a perfect Mother's Day or any day gift! With charming illustrations by Henry Cole, The Kiss Box is a soothing love story between mother and child.
Mama Bear offers Little Bear various ways to share their love while they are apart--but none seem right. It's not until Little Bear suggests that they make each other a Kiss Box--filled with a hundred kisses--that they are able to stay connected--no matter where they are. Whether it be an errand to the grocery store, a business trip, or the first day of school, this is a tender reminder that we are always together where it matters most: in our hearts.
