Reviews for Sun Kisses, Moon Hugs
All I can say is WOW! The story is beautifully written and illustrated. I think the idea of finding love in something as constant as the natural world is brilliant. The story gives me goosebumps. This is a book that would be a perfect fit to read to my TK class at the beginning of the year, when kids are worried about spending the day away from their parents. I would also recommend the story to parents whose child is experiencing separation anxiety. It is a lovely 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!

I have found that adults often struggle with how to approach sad subjects with kids and struggle themselves with how to cope with loss. These gentle words and bright, colorful images give kids - and their adults - a vocabulary to stay connected. I believe that we, the living, are life after death and this book is a gentle reminder of the beautiful life that connects us all.
