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, Missing Mummy is a touching, honest and helpful book that approaches a difficult subject with great integrity. Review: Requested by a 4 year old again and again - My daughter lost her father about 2 month ago. She's aware of what happened but I didn't see any particular signs of grief yet. I've read that it can be delayed in young children. Fell in love with the illustrations and simplicity, so decided to buy this book even though the situation described differs from ours. I was quite surprised when she started asking for it over and over. In fact, this is the only book we read now, before bed and first thing in the morning. I've tried other books on bereavement, but it seems this one suits her age best. Frankly saying, I found it quite therapeutic for myself too. I seem to go through the same stages as the little boy in the book. Hope this helps. bd Review: Highly recommend - This book is such a sensitive, comforting, real view of a book. We bought this for our 2 year old grandson who lost his mother. If you don't have any religious or spiritual beliefs this is a wonderful book to support children in grief. ## Features - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 126,395 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 110 in Children's Books on Death & Dying 140 in Fiction About Death & Dying for Children 3,020 in Fiction About Family for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 170 Reviews | ## Images ![Missing Mummy: A Book About Bereavement - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61D96yYrCbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Requested by a 4 year old again and again *by B***D on 27 May 2014* My daughter lost her father about 2 month ago.
