Description

Where does mom go when she leaves me Is she wrestling with tigers Giggling with kangaroos Do you think she's thinking of me

"Where Do You Go When You Leave Me Mom" follows a very spirited exploration of a child's experience when mom must leave. Developing emotional themes of adventure, loss, anger, and sadness, this universal theme is something all children can learn from.

The book is written for the young age where fantasy is most active in child development, and your child will fall in love with the gorgeous fabric-like illustrations that seem to pop right off the page!

Join this little one as they wait for mom to return!
