Description

Mama Always Comes Back is for young children who are learning to part with their parents for varying periods of time. It is told from the point of view of a little boy. Illustrated with modelling clay, quilt and crochet, told in rhyming verse, with notes for parents, caregivers and educators, this book is ideal for settling a child into a new environment. In twenty pages of colourful pictures it moves chronologically from gestation to kindergarten depicting common separations of mother and child, with increasing independance on the child's part. It helps the child say, "Good-bye" while acknowledging fear and sadness, allowing him to move on to security and comfort. When a child's emotions are identified, respected, and represented in illustration and verse, he knows his feelings are understood and he can go on to heal and spend the rest of his time away in play. Sure to become a favorite in daycares and preschools, Mama Always Comes Back will also find its way onto shelves of babysitters, grandparents, aunties, uncles, foster parents and friends of children everywhere.
