Wake-Up Kisses

Illustrated by Henry Cole.

As the day nears an end, it is time to rise and shine for many night-time creatures. Owl, Opossum, Skunk, and other nocturnal animals hurry about to wake their young - but not without those wake-up kisses.

This picture book offers an enduring message about parental love, for as each day begins, many parents think about how they're going to spend that time living and teaching their children. Edwards's text offers a reassuring read-aloud while Cole's charming art captures the sleepy sweetness of baby creatures.
