Sometimes, the hardest part of growing is letting go — even just for a little while. In this episode of The Reading Nest Podcast, we explore Audrey Penn’s beloved classic, The Kissing Hand, a gentle story that reminds children (and adults) that love is something we can always carry with us.

Join me as we talk about the healing power of connection, the comfort of routines, and how small gestures — like Chester’s mother’s kiss — can help us feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether you’re a parent helping your child through transitions, a teacher supporting little ones, or simply someone who needs a reminder of the strength love gives us, this episode is for you.

✨ Let’s explore the magic of love, comfort, and resilience — together.
