      About This Book

      Baby cheeps like a bird
      and I know why.
      When Mama and Papa go out
      baby starts to cry.

      A calming picture book about separation that will help ease a child's fears

      It's hard when Mama and Papa leave home. You want to go with them. You want them to stay. You want to know just when they'll return; and still, it's not soon enough. But while they're away, there's lots of fun to be had with a loving caregiver on the watch. Just listen as she sings playful, comforting songs. Listen, listen and know: Mama's coming home. Papa won't be long. Hush, little bird. I'll sing you one more song.

      With nursery rhyme images pulled from traditional songs of Africa, Spain, and the Caribbean, this gentle picture book reassures young children that Mama and Papa will indeed come home soon.
