The illustrations are sweet but the kindergarten teacher in me was dying at the unattended child.

Ok, I haven't actually shared this with Annie yet, but I will someday. This book is so sweet. The illustrations are truly wonderful. The little boy melts my heart.

Every time the poor kid asked, "우리 엄마 안 와요?" I wanted to reach into the book, pick him up, and holler for his mama. I got a little scared at the end when I couldn't find her at first either. I loved the art and thought this was heartwarming.

Written during the Japanese occupation, _Waiting for Mama_ is a brilliant allegory of independence. We can see in the small child waiting for his mother, a small country, Korea, enduring yet waiting to reclaim her independence.
