When Mommy has to go away, a Little Person is left trying to understand why.
In this tender and beautifully illustrated picture book, a child learns that Mommy must leave for Big Person time-out in a place called prison. Through days of missing her, drawing pictures, phone calls, visits, and finally the long-awaited homecoming, the story traces the emotional arc of separation and reunion with honesty and hope.
Written in gentle, accessible language, A Little Person Like You Whose Mommy Goes to Prison centers the perspective of the child. It acknowledges confusion and sorrow while affirming what remains constant: a mother's love.
Patty Prewitt brings extraordinary depth to this story, drawing on her own experience of incarceration and reunion with her children. The result is a compassionate, reassuring book that opens space for conversation and offers comfort to families navigating difficult circumstances.
A moving picture book about love, absence, resilience, and coming home.
