Being apart from his mama can be hard, but something unexpected helps Esteban remember that she always comes back.

There are so many fun things to do in Mr. Walter's classroom, but Esteban still misses his mama while she's at work. One day, after giving Esteban two kisses and a hug (mwah mwah mmmm), Mama heads out the door—and forgets to take her gloves with her. As Esteban keeps the gloves safe, they help him remember something important: it can be hard to be apart from his mama, but she always comes back . . . with two kisses and a hug!

This sweet story shows one child's experience with separation anxiety and his recovery from it. The book contains a page of information to help you connect the story to children's experiences, which makes it a great teaching tool for your classroom or child care setting.

32 Pages Lexile Measure: Adult-directed, Grade 2.

This was a sweet story for little ones who suffer from separation anxiety. The story is very soothing and comforting and the illustrations are big and bright, making it an enchanting read to share with your preschooler.

I recommended that we get copies of this book and the five others by Mike Huber. They are all based on the everyday experiences of preschool-aged children at their daycare. They serve two audiences—one, the kids themselves. They are picture books with engaging illustrations and appropriate for ages 3 and up. But they also serve as great examples for early childhood educators. Mike Huber is a master teacher and provides trainings nationally for other early childhood educators. I recently passed these books on to a new early childhood educator and she loved them! She shared them with her own children, who really responded to the illustrations and the stories.
