This was an adorable story of love. The love we have within us and how we can show love to others. The illustrations were artsy and bright. Very adorable!

This book was so adorable, I loved everything about it, the illustrations were so well done, they suited the book perfectly, the story was amazing as well, even thought is very short I could really connect with the characters and feel theirs struggles.
I’m sure the kids are going to be just as enthralled with this amazing book as I was.
I will definitely recommend!

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

This children’s book is very cute, however there were some times the illustrations didn’t relate very well to the story and some of the items/people in the illustrations didn’t fit well to the theme.

From the time children are born parents have this unconditional love for them. This book is a sweet note to children telling them they can always carry our love with them. This is a cute story to read to little ones. This book would work well as a story time read and activity paired with it.

This artwork is the whimsical dreamworld I want to live in. Reminiscent of “The Kissing Hand”, this story focuses on the love inside each of us. It can be tapped into anytime we need it. This would make the perfect gift for any child or new parent.

A Treasure Chest of Kisses by Sky Eiko, Pham Thuy Mai Thy
The book ‘Treasure Chest of Kisses’ comes with a central idea that words of affirmation, praise, physical touch in the form of hugs and kisses help build a treasure chest which is like a children’s love bank account. The more love we add to this treasure chest, the more it grows big day by day and it makes children feel powerful. It is this strength that helps them navigate through the odds in life.
With captivating illustrations and rhyming words, the book A Treasure chest of kisses, by Sky Eiko and Pham Thuy Mai Thy talks about the deep loving bond, the hugs & kisses that forms the strong foundation of children’s lives. This treasure chest of kisses is embedded deep within the heart that loves us, protects us, and helps us grow during unforeseen times.

It is important for young children to be reminded of this love that is treasured safe in the heart even if they are away or need an embrace. The author emphasizes that our treasure chest of kisses will never be devoid of love, rather refill itself and connect with everyone around. She shares the wonderful idea of inheriting the boundless love filled in the form of a treasure chest of kisses from our grandparents and passing it on further.

This is an excellent read aloud or a reflective way to end the day as a thoughtful bedtime story. The bountiful illustrations full of wonderful colors will enthrall the readers.

Thank you NetGalley and Henrietta Publishing for this ARC. I read this book to my daughter and she enjoyed it! It’s a cute and whimsical story. The illustrations are lovely. It was the perfect length to hold her attention. The rhyming and illustrations were also a plus for keeping her attention. I would recommend this to anyone w children to add to the shelf. 🤍

The drawings in this book are so gorgeous! Most even convey a sense of the texture of sorts!
The drawings are not just a beautiful work of art, they are also so well thought out, so thoughtful, so fitting in with the text and with the message of the book!
The message of the book is the most beautiful one also, the book is just like magic – it feels like love is pouring out of each page, of each caption, of each drawing.
Although very visibly heteronormative (I would really, really love to see more inclusive books out there!), it is still breathtakingly beautiful and filled with love, and I can see each and every family enjoying this book together with their little ones.

Treasure Chest of Kisses is a whimsically illustrated children's book about their internal 'treasure chest' that is filled with their self love and love from others, and encourages them to look within when they need encouragement, bravery and love on happy and sad days. It also touches on how love from people stay with us, even after they've passed on. Lovely book I'd highly recommend.

Thank you to Henrietta Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC!

This is a very sweet title that would be great for a child's first day of school, either at school or home. It seems like an updated version of the book "The Kissing Hand," and lets children know that the kisses that their family gives are always with them. I also liked the fact that the story includes the fact that they are able to share their love from the kisses.

Thank you, Henrietta Publishing, for the advance reading copy.

This book is so beautiful inside out. It is a celebration of our individual self. Reading this book to someone younger will definitely help them believe that they are being loved and accepted as who they are.

The illustration is powerful and so well done. Love the book. It makes me rejoice myself becoming who I am now.

I absolutely adore the concept of this book. I think it's very sweet and a great reminder for littles. While reading through initially, some of the wording felt a little clunky and I am not a fan of some of the anime-ish pictures, but overall we love it in our house!

This book is so whimsical, colorful, unique and wholesome! Absolutely love it.
It serves as a nice reminder to children that they always carry love within themselves.
I even needed this reminder as an adult!
Whether it be from friends or family, their love is always apart of us.
My favorite line was “Love refills on its own, so you’ll always have plenty.”
At the end of the book there is a QR code to some exclusive content, like video-led meditations. I think is an awesome touch to go along with the book!

Something that children of any age can appreciate.

This was a cute story, and I loved the illustrations. They felt unique and whimsical, and I really liked the magic. The story was heartfelt, without being too mushy or too related to traditional families.

I love this story! 'Treasure Chest of Kisses' is a magical picture book told in rhyming text with quaint illustrations.
It's a great book to help kids learn self-regulation when dealing with big emotions. The message and meaning of the treasure box of kisses is lovely and a great way to teach children that they always carry the love of family members and friends with them throughout life.
Included with the book is a QR code which may include access to a meditation, video of the author reading the book, and more.
Thank you to Sky Eiko for sharing the inspiration behind this story at the end of the book!
