The Kissing Hand


這本是因這次為母親節準備的研習活動而買,已是兩個月前的事,它很有名,幾乎講繪本的老師都知道這一本.

今天我再看一次(我還沒講給學生聽過),差點眼淚掉下來.
The Kissing Hand~A perfect first day story. This is a story about a little raccoon ready to start school. He talks about his fears to his mother, fears that most children have before beginning school. His mother comes up with a wonderful solution to help her little raccoon remember that she loves him and is thinking about him, even when she isn't with him. A wonderful and heart-warming story to share with little ones.

老實說畫風乍看我不喜歡,但仔細翻閱,筆觸很細,配上優美的文字及感人溫馨的內容,很摧淚.
上面的簡介沒說到感人處:媽媽給的方法就是要小racoon伸出左手,媽媽在手掌心上深深地親了一下,要他到學校想媽媽時,把手心拿出來貼在臉頰上,媽媽的溫暖與愛會在此時讓他的血液也熱了起來. 到了要上學的時間了,小racoon出門前,要媽媽把手伸出來,並在媽媽的手心上深深的一吻,就快樂的上學去了,媽媽看著小racoon漸漸消失在上學的路上,一股思念的情緒湧了上來,手心上小racoon的親吻,緊貼著臉頰,小racoon的愛與溫暖此時暖和了媽媽思念小racoon 的心!!!

我真地眼淚差點沒飆出來,怎這麼感人啊 !千萬不得錯過的好繪本!



搜尋時找到配著小星星的曲可以唱出的poem,唱唱看吧!

Here's a special trick I know
When I'm sad and scared to go.
Take my hand and kiss it here.
This kiss from you, I will hold dear.
Down my a hand and up my arm,
Into my heart the kiss goes on.
