This is a lovely book about a little girl whose mother is on a work trip. While she has fun with Mama while Mommy is away, she desperately misses Mommy. The simple story follows her feelings during the week.
The illustrations for this book are outstanding! I really loved the way Juanita illustrates the quiet, everyday love between parents and children. I also appreciated that she illustrated both the little girl and her Mommy as having vitiligo, something I don't see represented much in children's books. The little girl and her Mommy are Black; Mama presents as white.

Adorable. This story follows a week in the life of a little girl when one of her moms is away on a business trip. She learns about the similarities and differences between other types of missing someone, the way feelings can be more complicated and layered than you first expect, and ways to process all these emotions. A great little book with some great art, and one I recommend.

When one of her moms go away on a business trip, she and her Mama try to fill the days until her Mommy's return but sometimes the missing is too big for her. Great for having to deal with separation anxiety.

Cute story about a little girl missing one of her moms who goes away for a week for work. The girl and remaining mom spend time together and find ways to have fun until they are all reunited.
