When Mama goes on a trip, her baby penguin Kipling knows she’ll return home soon—yet he still can’t help but miss her. After all, Pillow Mama won’t read, Picture Mama won’t laugh, and Snow Mama is too cold to cuddle.
But when Kipling receives a special delivery from Mama, he knows that no matter where she is, he is always loved. Soon, Mama comes home, and Kipling ends the day where he belongs—right in her arms.

“Bradley’s soft paintings and understated narration create a rich maritime world―and the comforting assurance of enduring love―that should readily resonate with the children of working parents, even if their Mamas don’t head off to work on an ice floe, as Kipling’s mother does.” ―Publishers Weekly (click here for full review)
