The Jim Henson Company, Rehab Entertainment, and 2 Friends Entertainment are working together to develop the beloved story The Kissing Hand into a television series.
About The Kissing Hand:
Here is the story of a little raccoon who confronts the first day of school and needs reassurance. Mother Raccoon finds an unforgettable way of communicating the message that everyone most needs to hear. The perfect book for any child taking the plunge into school, endearing illustrations are as soothing as the simple story.School is starting in the forest, but Chester Raccoon does not want to go. To help ease Chester’s fears, Mrs. Raccoon shares a family secret called “the Kissing Hand” to give him the reassurance of her love any time his world feels a little scary.
In the month of September, JHC and Rehab shot the following shorts using the Kissing Hand puppets. Each of the four shorts offers tips and tricks for making the transition of going back to school easier for both parent and child. Sleepy Planet Parenting collaborated on this project as the educating consultants, and provided the tips used in the videos.
