Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Lili is spending a few days with Grandma while Mama is away. She knows Mama will be home 'soon'--but when is soon? Whenever Lili catches a glimpse of yellow, she's certain that Mama's come home at last! But the orange she sees is just a sundress, a balloon, an umbrella...and Lili starts to lose hope. Grandma comforts her with kind words and trips to circus and beach, till, at last, Mama returns with a warm hug & a special orange hat for Lili. First-time author Nancy Minchella crafts a gentle story of separation and reassurance, illustrated in the vivid watercolors of Keiko Narahashi.

My children love this book, and so do I. This re-assuring book helps children understand that mom always comes back. Wonderful for the very first day of preschool, child's very first time with a new babysitter, or any situation where a child is sad that mom/dad is leaving. Beautifully written.

When my daughter is on a business trip, this is the book my granddaughter wants me to read. Poetic and eloquent, it touches the heart whether you're two years old or the grandmother of a two year old. The book's subject - Mama's gone away but she'll be back soon - fills a true void in children's literature. It's wonderful!
