Mama's Kiss -- The kiss Mama blew to her little girl goes merrily astray, slipping and sliding and sashaying from cheek to cheek . . . until it finally lands just right where it belonged. Told in jaunty verse, award-winning Jane Yolen's clever fantasy offers warm and witty affirmation that it is indeed love that makes the world go round.

Jane Yolen has been called the Hans Christian Andersen of America and the Aesop of the twentieth century. Her books and stories have won the Caldecott Medal, two Nebula Awards, and two Christopher Medals, among many others.

Daniel Baxter's pen-and-ink illustrations have been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal. He is a graduate of Parsons School of Design and currently lives in upstate New York. Mama's Kiss is the first book he has illustrated for children.
