Illustrated by
Estelle Corke.
Children of various ages and ethnicities describe the ways their absent mothers remain with them ("she's the face of the moon"; "in the beating of my heart"). The rhymes are a bit forced, and the images lean toward clichéd, but many adults will find this a useful, reassuring introduction to concepts of loss due to death, divorce, or incarceration.
