Mrs. Racoon shares it has been passed down from her mom to her, and from her mom's mom to her mom. Mrs. Racoon opens Chester's paw into a fan and places a kiss in the center. Whenever Chester feels lonely, he can press his paw to his cheek and feel his mother's love. He will always have the kissing hand even when he washes his paws. Chesters kissing hand now allows him to go anywhere and have his mother's love with him! boyceashley101 https://padlet.com/boyceashley101/jdbdsh90adsktas9/wish/1736825458 2021-09-13 17:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/boyceashley101/jdbdsh90adsktas9/wish/1736825458 At the end of The Kissing Hand, right before Chester leaves that night to go to school, he asks his mother to give him her hand.
