The bond between a parent and child share is special. In this sweet and heartfelt picture book, renowned author-illustrator Rosemary Wells celebrates all that parents do with and for their children from the very beginning: talking and walking, feeding and reading, playing and dreaming, and more. Spectacular art and a powerful message make this a perfect book to share with children.

Since it was first published, The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn has provided reassurance for children dealing with difficult transitions and situations. While the focus of the picture book is on fears about starting school, the reassurance and comfort the book provides can be applied to many different situations.

Read to Your Bunny is an invitation to the world of reading--a poem children will want to hear again and again. When parents read to their children every day, soon the children will be able to read to their parents. Reading together for twenty minutes each day is the most important gift you can give your child.
