Bag of Kisses by Melanie Pereira & Olivia Coucci

For a little girl whose daddy is a fisherman in the #1 fishing port in the world, goodbyes are never easy. But before he leaves for sea, her parents share a special secret―a magical bag of kisses that keeps their love close, no matter how far the waves carry him.

As the days pass and the ocean stretches wide between them, the bag becomes a powerful reminder that love doesn't disappear with distance. With warmth, imagination, and heartfelt reassurance, this touching story helps children navigate separation with comfort and confidence.

Bag of Kisses is a beautifully written picture book about the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter. Perfect for families experiencing time apart due to fishing, military service, travel, or demanding careers, this story offers children a tangible way to feel connected, secure, and deeply loved. A comforting story of love, resilience, and the simple traditions that hold families together―even across the sea.
