A little girl stays home with Mama when Mummy goes off on a work trip in this tender inviting
story that will resonate with every child who has missed a parent. For one little girl
there‿s no place she‿d rather be than sitting between Mama and Mummy. So when Mummy goes
away on a work trip it‿s tricky to find a good place at the table. As the days go by Mama
brings her to the library they watch films and all of them talk on the phone but she still
misses Mummy as deep as the ocean and as high as an astronaut up in the stars. As they pass by
a beautiful garden the girl has an idea ... but when Mummy finally comes home it takes a
minute to shake off the empty feeling she felt all week before leaning in for a kiss. Michael
L. Printz Award winner Nina LaCour thoughtfully renders a familiar touching story of a child
who misses a parent illustrated by Kaylani Juanita whose distinctive style brings charm and
playfulness to this delightful family of three.
