Love, Mama by Jeanette Bradley - OPTIONAL

Bradley, Jeanette Love, Mama.  PICTURE BOOK.  Roaring Brook, 2018.  $17.  9781626729490.

Mama Penguin is away on a trip and Kipling misses her very much.  When she sends him a box full of some new treasures, including a heart she made for him, he makes her a box of treasure in return. 

A sweet as this cute picture book is, I think I have to recommend Bunny’s Staycation by Lori Richmond first.  Kipling in this book is so melancholy, but Bunny in the other has a great time with his dad while he is waiting for Mama.  Both would work together as a way to talk about how children feel when a parent goes away on a trip without them.
