[原创]带着妈妈的吻--读THE KISSING HAND

早晨送完小肥，从幼儿园出来，看见小人趴在窗口和我挥手拜拜，又和我飞吻。等我把车倒出去，回头看见小人还趴在窗口，把手捂着脸。--我们的小暗号噢，MOM’S KISSING HAND，我心情复杂的出来，有点高兴：THE KISSING HAND WORKS，尽管还有点无奈和担心。

来说说这本好书吧AUDREY PENN的THE KISSING HAND。

小涣熊要上幼儿园了，可是他很不愿意，他想留在家里玩自己的玩具，看自己的书，荡自己的秋千。。。他想和妈妈一起留在家里。--简直和小肥一模一样阿。小肥听到这儿似乎很理解，一动不动的听我往下讲。

小涣熊妈妈向小涣熊保证它会喜欢幼儿园的，它会交到新朋友，有新玩具玩，有新的书看。(小肥一脸的不以为然，简直就是书里面小涣熊的翻版。)更重要的是，涣熊妈妈有个秘密噢，是涣熊妈妈的妈妈告诉妈妈的，是我们家的秘密噢。(小肥有点好奇的想知道。)

这个秘密就是KISSING HAND！它会让宝宝在学校感觉和在家一样。涣熊妈妈把小涣熊的手伸开，然后在手掌中央吻了一下。小涣熊感觉这个吻一直吻到了心窝里。以后无论何时，无论何地只要小涣熊想妈妈了，就可以把妈妈的KISSING HAND放到脸暇上，就可以感受到妈妈的吻，仿佛听见妈妈温柔的声音“I LOVE YOU！”--我放下书，也很庄重的给了小肥一个KISSING HAND！小人脸上马上满脸放光，把小手握得紧紧的。

这本书更加贴心的地方是涣熊妈妈向小涣熊保证，无论小涣熊如何洗手，他都不会把KISSING HAND丢掉。妈妈非常喜欢的小细节。

最让妈妈感动的地方是书的结尾：小涣熊高高兴兴的去了学校，忽然跑回妈妈身边，原来它也要给妈妈一个KISSING HAND，这样妈妈想小涣熊的时候也会有小涣熊的KISSING HAND了。--贴心的小肥果然也回头给我一个KISSING HAND！！！

妈妈早早的囤下这本书，为小肥上幼儿园作准备。终于派上了用场。小肥前一段妈妈送他的时候总是哼哼叽叽的，一个周末好好给讲了这个故事，不时的提醒他，果然还是很有作用的。

现在爸爸出差了，我问小人想爸爸吗？小人只是默默的拿手掌捂着脸颊。

放学去接小人，小人会说“我好想妈妈呀！”“我也想宝宝呀！”我回答到。小人会抓起我的手让我拿手掌捂着我的脸颊。

(现在这个KISSING HAND似乎也会安慰我自己呢。)

一直很好奇作者是怎么把孩子心里摸得这么准确，上网去查了查，果然发现作者就是给自己有分离焦虑症的女儿写的这本书。而且作者的经历真是不平常呢。

作者接着这本书以后又写了一个续集，说的是爱得分享的问题。--妈妈如果把KISSING HAND给了别的兄弟姐妹怎么办呢？？？真的是很可爱的回答。(妈妈也提前囤下，不知道有没有派上用处的一天。不过其实即使不是兄弟姐妹也会有这样的问题吧，看时机再读给小人听吧。)

Audrey Penn is an award-winning author of several books for children, including the highly acclaimed New York Times bestseller The Kissing Hand. She grew up outside Washington, DC, in Silver Spring, Maryland, but also spent a great deal of time in North Carolina. As a child, Audrey was quite a storyteller - gathering the neighborhood kids to entertain them with her imaginative tales. Her teachers told her she had a gift and encouraged her to write.

During the 1970s, Audrey was a ballet dancer, performing with such groups as the New York City Ballet, the National Ballet, and the Stuttgard Ballet in Europe. She began working with athletes in 1972, initially with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and continuing on to work with baseball players, ice skaters, and gymnasts. She has served as the dance coach to the US Figure Skating Team in preparation for the Pan American Games (1973), and was the US Gymnastic Team's dance coach in both 1974 and 1975.

Audrey's first book was Happy Apple Told Me, published in 1976. In 1979, however, she was confined to her bed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis - a debilitating disease that ended her dance career (and prevented her from walking). For the next 15 years, she endured many surgeries, including hip and shoulder replacements, and walked with crutches. During this period of restricted mobility, Audrey increasingly channeled her artistic talents toward writing stories and books for children. She went on to write her second book, Blue Out of Season, winner of a Very Special Arts Recognition Award, and has written many more books since.

Her most popular book to date, The Kissing Hand, published in 1993, was inspired by a real-life occurrence that happened in a park near her home. While riding a small train through a park, the train suddenly came to a stop. She saw the conductor waving his hands and shouting at something on the tracks in front of the train. When he went to find a park ranger for help, Audrey got out of her seat to see what was causing the commotion. A raccoon mother and her tiny cub were on the tracks, and the mother was opening the cub's paw and appeared to be kissing it and putting it on the cub's face. An idea sparked in Audrey's mind, and she thought: What a great idea for a story! Coincidentally, at the time, her own daughter was going through separation anxiety, so she used the concept of giving her a kiss to save for when she needed it - and it worked. Even today, wherever Audrey travels, she encounters people who continue to enjoy the book and tell her how they are using its reassuring message. The Kissing Hand continues to sell around 100,000 copies each year and has been followed by the highly successful sequel, A Pocket Full of Kisses, released in 2004.

Her writing style is very visual; in fact, she's been told, "you don't write books, you choreograph them." Her biography appeared in a book by George Plimpton, written on behalf of Mrs. Jean Kennedy Smith, about artists in the Very Special Arts program.

In addition to her writing, Audrey takes her educational program, the Writing Penn, into schools, libraries, and children's hospitals where she often shapes and refines her story ideas in partnership with kids. She is a much sought-after conference speaker for groups of teachers and other professionals who work with children. Audrey's other books include A Pocket Full of Kisses, Feathers and Fur, A.D.D. Not B.A.D., Sassafras, The Whistling Tree, and No Bones About Driftiss.
