A little girl stays home with Mama when Mummy goes off on a work trip in this tender, inviting story that will resonate with every child who has missed a parent. For one little girl, there’s no place she’d rather be than sitting between Mama & Mummy. So when Mummy goes away on a work trip, it’s tricky to find a good place at the table.

Michael L. Printz Award winner Nina La Cour thoughtfully renders a familiar, touching story of a child who misses a parent, illustrated by Kaylani Juanita, whose distinctive style brings charm & playfulness to this delightful family of three. ...
