Review
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. --Amy Dickinson, as appeared on June 3, 2018 in the Ask Amy syndicated advice column in 150+ newspapersThrough delightful question and answer dialogue accompanied by vibrant, engaging illustrations, the authors capture the curiosity and fears of childhood with loving reassurances. The intertwining of nature and storytelling is nicely done and adds to the feeling of parental love knowing no bounds. This book will easily become a bedtime favorite for children of any age and really should be a part of every home library. Beautifully done! --Stacey M, MLIS, Children's LibrarianWhy I like this book: Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs is pure poetry and a visual feast for the eyes. Written and illustrated by two friends, Susan and Courtenay have taken a sad subject about separation and created a beautiful consoling book for children. It is written in dialogue, but is very lyrical and inspirational. It is the perfect book to use with children when they are dealing with separation from a parent because of deployment or job, loss, illness, divorce, and tragedy. The dialogue in the book gives kids the vocabulary to feel connected and to feel the presence of a loved one and it s all done through signs of nature. The illustrations are big, vibrant and breathtaking, and include children from all cultures. The book is simply beautiful! --Patricia Tilton, ChildrensBooksHeal website

I got this to help my niece cope with the death of her mother, but I found it helped me cope with the loss of my sister just as much. It might be written as a children's book, but I've been recommending it to anyone who's lost someone they love. It's especially comforting for people who (like me) aren't religious but need and want something to believe in.
This beautifully written book would be best given to a child by a loved one that will be passing away soon, leaving for a long trip or perhaps stationed overseas. This book has a strong message to look for signs of love everywhere. This was a great buy and I highly recommend!
I'm a child psychologist and I have two boys (ages 5 & 10). Since the time the older son was little, I have been in the habit of putting magic kisses on their knees everyday before we say goodbye. They could then look at their knees during the day and be reminded that my love is always around and in them. Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs accomplishes the same "connective support structure" to little ones, but in lots of different ways and with beautiful imagery and colors. I read Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs to my 5 year old on his first day of kindergarten -- twice actually! He thought I wrote it because the concepts and imagery are all the sort of things we all say to our babies when reassuring them of our love and helping them to feel safe and secure in their little worlds while they explore away from us. This book accomplished two things. It serves as a supportive and therapeutic way for children to interpret and manage their feelings when they're away from us. It also promotes mindfulness practice in little ones, but encouraging them to look at natural phenomenon in the natural world and to understand that all of it connects all of us. It is also written at a level that is perfect for little ones to work on their reading skills. Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs is a book that is good for children, good for families and eventually, good for us all.
The illustrations in this book are simply beautiful. The language used to express such a higher level concept to young children flows well together and it is evident that this book was created for others with lots of love.This book would make the perfect gift for children who suffer from separation anxiety, especially if they are going through a move away from loved ones or are experiencing grief after the loss of a loved one.The book focuses on our connections to nature and the world around us, and uses those natural elements as cornerstones in the dialogue of kisses from the sun and hugs from the moon.
We purchased this book for our eight year old who lives in two separate homes. We often talk about sun and moon kisses and hugs as a way to think of each other and remember our love even when she is at her other house. The illustrations are adorable and the the story is so sweet!
This is a charming picture book that teaches young readers that love is all around us. The author uses nature to provide examples of love reaching out to us. One can see love in the sun, the moon, the stars, grains of sand, the wind, and butterflies to name just a few.The book might be used to assuage the fears of children who suffer from separation anxiety, the trauma of divorce or grief at the loss of a loved one. While it is a beautiful message for any age, I especially recommend it to children in the six to ten age range. Fletcher's illustrations enhance the flow of the message and portray the story beautifully.
This touching tale is a back-and-forth between a child and a beloved adult who are unable to be together. As the child misses their dear one, they are lovingly reminded of all the walls that they can be connected even when they are apart."The sun will catch your kiss and use light speed, to forward it right on to me.""Love is in each sttar twinkling in space and every frostly snowflake licking your face.""Each grain of sand means I'm in reach..."The book ends with the a final message of hugs and kisses, telling the precious child "I'll always love you, Little One."While I think that this book would have been a wonderful read for before (and during) the times my husband and I have been away from the kids, I also think it can be used to explain when someone has passed away. From a (former) librarian's point of view, it was always difficult to find books that worked well to explain how, while death separates us it doesn't mean we can't be together in other ways, for smaller children. I found 2 or 3 that I kept on hand that used common images (like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly for instance) to explain death and leaving, but it wasn't easy to find things that explained and comforted without placating or being too cutesy to really help. And, especially with picture books and the under 6 years old crowd, it's a careful balance.This book hits that balance. If a parent, grandparent, or sibling dies, it can be hard to explain to a young child that, although this person they love is no longer physically with them, there is still a way to connect: hug a tree and feel your loved one hugging you back, look up at the moon and see the smile of your dear one returned, kisses sliding from heaven down the rainbow. Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs strikes a delicate balance between being a cutesy read and a heartwarming story that both comforts and gives a smile to the little one reading it.Long story short, I highly recommend this book, for kids under 6, who either are dealing with a separation of some reason (long term like divorce or short term like a business trip or deployment) or for the death of someone close to them.
What a precious story to read to a child, especially when a parent or even grandparent is away. No matter where we are in the world, we have the sun, the moon, and love.I think this book would be excellent for children who have a parent(s) that are in the military and may have to deploy. As the mother of a soldier, who is also a father, this would be an excellent story."Hugs by moon and kisses by sun, I'll always love you, Little One.The story has beautiful illustrations and told with rhyming verse.
