A gentle tale told entirely through sticky notes between a mother and daughter as the girl's departure for her first summer camp draws near demonstrates how love can be found even in scribbled messages and other unlikely places. - Perseus Publishing
Love shines through in the sticky notes shared between a mother and daughter in this picture book about making time for family in the midst of our busy lives.
Between work and school, homework and housework, a mother and daughter donât always get to spend as much time together as theyâd like. Add to that a little girlâs fears about leaving home for the first time, and the need to stay close through handwritten notes becomes even more important. As the camp departure date gets closer, Mom does her best to soothe her daughterâs nerves. A visit from her grandmother helps to calm her fears and convince her that sheâll have a good time, even away from her mother and beloved cat. Camp ends up being a wonderful adventure â but nothing is sweeter than a back-at-home reunion.
Qin Lengâs watercolor illustrations are the perfect complement to Emil Sherâs simple text. This nuanced story about a parent and childâs unconventional way of connecting is full of humor and affection. Young readers will enjoy spotting Lester the cat as he paws his way into the story.
