Humans do not look at sleeping difficulties as daytime issues. Therefore, it is hard to imagine having “dayscares,” until you read this tender tale from a different perspective. I have not read any story quite like this.
As parents often do, mama comforts her son, carried out with a kiss and a connection. Everything is right in the world, and Chester falls asleep dreaming away in nocturnal land.
My daughter has separation anxiety, so I fell in love with the book that started it all, The Kissing Hand. I appreciate the link Ms. Penn carries between her books within this well-known series. Its continuity provides comfort and familiarity, qualities perfect for easing anxiety in children.
I would recommend this precious book - so full of mama’s love – to any parent.
