This heartwarming picture book, which features adorable illustrations and die cuts, celebrates a parent’s love for a child that is always shared between them, even when they’re apart. The perfect book for children—and parents!—experiencing separation anxiety.

It’s never easy for a child to leave a parent for the first time—and it can be just as difficult for the parent, too! A Kiss for When You Miss Me is a sweet, heartwarming story of the love between parent and child that is always shared between them, even when they’re apart. And despite their separation, the love they have for each other is made even stronger by sharing kisses. This heartwarming story, which features die cuts throughout, is an ideal choice for exploring separation anxiety, family, and togetherness.
 
Poppy Bishop is a London girl born and bred. When not writing, she loves visiting art galleries and hanging out on her houseboat with her pet parrot, Clement.

Caroline Pedler illustrated her first children’s book in 1999, and has lost count of how many she has illustrated since! With an MA in Illustration-Authorial Practice under her belt, she always has something creative going on. Caroline lives in a lovely village in Cornwall, where she enjoys walking her dog Bobo, meeting up with friends, and drinking copious amounts of Lady Grey tea.
