Summary from Macmillan
Some time ago we said goodbye to Mummy. I am not sure where she has gone.
Nayuleska's thoughts
Given that the front cover had me tearing up, its no surprise I cried through this book. Its written in a touching way, showing how confusing death can be to children. The crayon type illustrations seem fitting, I liked how all different emotions are discussed so the child knows it is ok to feel certain ways in this essential 10E/10E read.
