When Chester Raccoon is afraid of speaking in front of his class at Owl Teacher’s School, his mother tells him the story of a young bird that was once afraid to fly from the nest. Armed with his mother’s Kissing Hand in his palm, Chester learns he can be brave even though he still feels afraid. When it is time for Chester Raccoon to speak in front of his class: If he THINKS he can’t; He must TELL himself he can; And DO it! Think Tell Do

Though they are not Kissing Hand Books, look at these works addressing additional childhood issues and topics:
Sassafras addresses self-esteem
A.D.D. Not B.A.D. discusses Attention Deficit Disorder and hyperactivity
Feathers and Fur addresses diversity and kindness
