    Mama Bear and Little Bear find it difficult to be apart from each other. When Mama Bear has to leave for the day, Little Bear is afraid and sad. To help Little Bear feel better, Mama Bear gives him a "kiss box" - a box that holds kisses that Little Bear can open when he misses her. The kiss boxes contain things that remind them of each other like fur, pictures, and scents. Using the kiss boxes helps Mama Bear and Little Bear feel less lonely when they are separated until their reunion. The story promotes open communication between parents and children about difficult emotions like missing loved ones.
