The tender messages in this picture book differ from every other book about "mommy's kisses." Through rhyme which doesn't miss a beat, we see the many ways a little girl's mommy uses kisses to teach, coax, soothe, encourage, play and convey a myriad of other expressions of love. This story is also unique in showing the way a mother's loving kisses are passed down from generation to generation, providing a satisfying ending, with the newest generation about to receive her rich inheritance. If you are a mother with a young daughter, buy this book for her—you'll both treasure it!
