Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs

"No matter how far apart we are, I will always find ways to tell you I love you."

Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs is a beautiful picture book with a simple but powerful message: love lasts forever. Lyrical writing and delightful multicultural illustrations provide perfect bedtime reading for any child. The book is also ideal for supporting children through grief, separation anxiety, divorce, illness or other traumatic situations, by wrapping them in a warm and comforting emotional security blanket and opening a dialogue on the nature of love. Even when loved ones cannot be with us, we can feel their presence through our deep connections to the natural world. Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs has received glowing testimonials from parents, librarians, social workers, teachers, hospice caregivers...and most importantly, kids.

Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs is a Gold Medal winner of the International Publisher Awards, and a featured title in the LeVar Burton Kids /RIF Skybrary app. It was selected as a Child's Grief Awareness Day book-of-the-month, and also featured three years in a row for Children's Multicultural Book Day.

"Hugs by moon, kisses by sun,
I'll always love you, Little One."

Reviews:

"There are a number of books written for children to try to help them through the bumpy passage of separation, divorce, or loss. I like Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs, by Susan Schaefer Bernardo and Courtenay Fletcher (2017, Inner Flower Child Books). This lovely picture book encourages children to explore the nature of love. The message is: No matter how far apart we are, I will always find a way to tell you I love you. Have tissues handy; this sweet and poignant message will resonate deeply with everyone. "
