A short goodbye, a reassuring reunion

Penguin’s mother leaves for a little while, and Penguin feels sad. In her absence, the babysitter, Mrs. Duck, shares reading, play, and comfort with Penguin. The story gives young children a simple scene of separation and reunion, with the return home providing its resolution. Its everyday focus makes the feelings around a caregiver’s brief absence easy to recognize.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers encountering short separations from a parent or caregiver
  • Very young children sharing a picture book about feelings with an adult
  • Families looking for a story about a babysitter and a parent’s return

Book overview

Sometimes Moms have to leave their little ones at home for a short time. It can be a challenge. Especially for Penguin! There are tears and sadness, but Penguin likes the babysitter, Mrs. Duck. They have fun together reading and playing and hugging Penguin's favorite pillow. And soon, someone's at the door--Mom is back! This sweet board book demonstrates that missing Mom can be hard, but little listeners will delight in the happy ending.
