About This Book

Jacqueline Woodson gives us a tender and moving story about two siblings who don't know what to expect when they're sent to live with an unfamiliar aunt, but soon discover that there's plenty of love to go around when they need it most, with stunning original art by Monica Mikai.

Sometimes, even when a mama loves you, she can't always take care of you . . .
That's what happens with Johnson and Beebee's mama—and that's why they are being taken to their aunt Gracie's house.

Who is this Gracie aunt? That's what Johnson wants to know. He can't remember her, and Beebee doesn't seem to trust her, at least not at first. But slowly, as the three of them spend time together—cooking, watching movies, snuggling on the couch, and even crying when they need to—they form a bond. And when Johnson sees Mama again, he knows that no matter where he lives, he'll always be surrounded by love.
