Great for Kids submitted by Avliss on June 18, 2014, 4:56pm This is a good book to read to kids. I brought it out last summer when volunteering at the AAPS preschool, and the kids absolutely adored it.

Sweet wonderful little book submitted by EllieN-W on August 14, 2015, 9:06pm we read it at bedtime and our toddler loves it.

Mama come back submitted by lbootzin on July 23, 2016, 12:14pm As a young child, I always got to "read" the line "mama come back". It helped me to know that my mom would come back from work/trips/wherever. It's still a phrase we use on occasion.

:) submitted by Xris on August 3, 2017, 4:11pm Love reading this to the kids at summer preschool and making owl babies with them. They love when Bill says "I want my mommy!"

Mother is gone submitted by elepling on August 21, 2018, 2:46pm One giant book with beautiful pictures!

Cute submitted by TLW1998 on July 13, 2019, 9:30pm Nice pictures

Beautiful message and illustrations submitted by CAH on August 27, 2021, 1:30pm Always a favorite bedtime story. Gorgeous illustrations and a well-delivered message about separation and reunion.

A Big Hit submitted by Ranamosleh on July 19, 2022, 2:32pm The book does a good job of empathizing with their natural fears of abandonment and reassuring them that Mommy and other loved ones are coming back.!

Heartfelt submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 10:56am Awee this is such a moving story! So important to talk about fears of abandonment. I agree. Reassurance is soo important for kids
