My daughter's preschool teacher read this book to them their first week of school. I am excited to have it in app form for her younger sister to read when she goes away to school in a couple of years. Thank you for making it free, and God bless you for donating the paper books to the children of Newtown.


Thank you!

Thank you for providing this to help us all heal. As the parent of 6 & 4 year old boys, I have cried for the kids, the parents, the teachers, and the whole community of Newtown. My sons made Kissing Hands at preschool and kindergarten, and know the story well. I will hold them close as we discover the app together.

I sit in tears still a full week later, this time tears of joy for the overwhelming support this country has shown to those in Newton. I love this book my 3 children own there own copies, thank you to the author and publisher for making this available. God watch over our country our schools and our children whom are our future. CT you are eternally in my prayers.


Beautifully illustrated story

Beautifully illustrated book that can be used with children at difficult times and times of change to let them know that no matter what they are loved. I really liked the ability to record my voice.
