Mom and Mommy and Me: The Great Missing
CHF 20.00
A story full of emotions: how children can cope with a separation phase
Regardless of whether one parent lives far away, siblings are at school all day, or one parent has to travel for work: when their loved ones are not with them, small children often miss them deeply. This lovingly illustrated picture book provides comfort when a caregiver is absent. It addresses the topic of separation in an age-appropriate manner and shows how families can deal with the longing for a family member.
In "Mommy and Mommy and Me: The Big Missing," Michael L. Printz Award winner Nina LaCour tells the touching story of a child who misses a parent in everyday family life. For this little girl, there is no better place in the world than the one between mommy and mommy. But then mommy has to go away for a whole week. The place at the family table remains empty and the big miss begins. No matter how hard mom tries to distract her, the pain of separation soon becomes as deep as the ocean and as high as the stars in the sky for the girl. But then mother and daughter have an idea how they can prepare for the reunion full of love.

About the publisher
A Berlin publisher
We met and fell in love in 2012 when Anna was on a language trip to Berlin. At first Anna lived in Warsaw, where she studied linguistics, and Lukas in Berlin, where he set up his first company. After a few years of long-distance relationship, connected by the Berlin-Warsaw express train, Anna moved to Berlin, and in 2016 we got married on a beach in the Seychelles. What connected us from the beginning: We love books and are proud of our large bookshelf.
In 2018, our happiness was perfect: our twins Zoë and Vincent were born. Now we bought children's books in the three languages that our children are growing up with: German, English and Polish. We noticed that many beautiful children's books are available in one language but not in the other. That's why we, a translator and an entrepreneur, decided to just publish these books yourself!
And so we founded the Zuckersüß publishing house. Since 2019, we have been searching for, finding and translating the most beautiful children's books in the world and bringing them to Germany. For ourselves and our children and all young families who enjoy reading together.
