Missing Mummy by Rebecca Cobb, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Some time ago we said goodbye to Mummy. I am not sure where she has gone. 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. | Missing Mummy by Rebecca Cobb, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
