Missing Mummy

Written and illustrated by a new talent in children's picture books, this extraordinary book deals with the loss of a parent from a child's point of view. Perfectly pitched text and evocative artwork explore the many emotions a bereaved child may experience, from anger to guilt and from sadness to bewilderment. And importantly, the book also focuses on the positive the recognition that the child is still part of a family, and that his memories of his mother are to be treasured. Beautifully illustrated with moments of wonderful warmth and the gentlest humour, this is a touching, honest and helpful book that approaches a difficult subject with great integrity.

The Something

Children love language, and in this book there is a twister on every page.
Try saying: “The big black bear bit the big black bug but the big black bug bit the big black bear back!” or “How many cans can a cannibal nibble if a cannibal can nibble cans?” These twisters aren’t as easy as they look—but they’re great fun.

Missing Mommy: A Book About Bereavement

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)

A beautifully illustrated, wittily observed picture book from the award-winning Rebecca Cobb. Hello Friend! tells the story of one relentlessly big-hearted and enthusiastic little girl who is insistent on befriending a certain little boy. And why wouldn't he want to be friends with her? She's very good at sharing - in fact, she insists on it, even if it's a sandwich that he doesn't like. And she's certain that being outside is their favourite thing to do, however reluctant he looks. But while he doesn't seem keen on many of the things that she loves to do, first impressions can be deceptive, and there is one thing he's very keen on after all . . . being friends. Also available from Rebecca Cobb: Lunchtime, Aunt Amelia and The Something.
