A Pocket Full of Kisses by Audrey Penn

Chester Raccoon becomes uneasy and a little jealous when he watches his mother kiss the palm of his younger brother Ronny. He thought he was the only one who had a "kissing hand." He learns that his other had enough love and kisses for both of them.

How these stories are connected:  Does Mrs. Raccoon have enough love and kisses for both her children? Does Jesus have enough power to heal both the bleeding woman and the dying girl? Whatever anyone's doubts may be, it seems there are enough love and healing to go around.
