The combination of Nina LaCour and Kaylani Juanita makes me so happy I feel like I might burst. This picture book is so lovely and sweet, exploring a week when one parent is away for work and the family misses misses misses her. There are some wonderful social-emotional touches and lots to talk about if you read it one-on-one with a child.

This might be one of the most beautiful pictures books I've ever read. A small girl's mommy has to leave for a week for work, disrupting their normal routines and leaving an empty space in their warm loving home. What do we do when we miss someone? The illustrations in this book are warm, lush, and the smallest details add lovely atmosphere (the possum family on the fence omg). This book shows people and families as they really are, not as a certain subset of society wants them to be, from the smallest details of tattoos, piercings, and medical devices, to the vitiligo and Sapphic parents; all of these details are virtually unspoken, the story isn't about having two mommies, because that is normal and beautiful, the story isn't about having vitiligo, because that is normal and beautiful, the story is about a little girl missing her parent while they have to be apart. I want everyone to read this book.
