The secret kiss

Antonin doesn't want to be separated from his mom to go to school. His mom tenderly places a kiss in his hand, telling him he'll always be close by if he misses her too much.

The author tackles the delicate subject of separating a child from a parent - whether temporarily or permanently. Audrey Penn's words will reassure children who fear being separated from their parents, whether it's when they start daycare or school, or before spending the night at a friend's house.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary, this album is still relevant today, reminding little ones that whatever happens, they'll always have the unfailing love of their parents.
