Missing Mommy can feel hard — especially when she wears a teal coat and helps sick people feel better every day.
In this heartfelt read-aloud from Growing Pages Books, young Eli’s mommy is a doctor who works long hours at the hospital. Even when her days are busy and her patients need her care, Eli knows one thing for certain — in Mommy’s heart, he will always be her favorite patient of all.
Through gentle words and beautiful illustrations, Eli learns that when parents work hard, it’s not because they love their children less — it’s because they love helping others too.

• Understand why parents work and what that love looks like
• Feel reassured that a parent’s love is always present
• Celebrate the compassion and strength of working moms
• Learn that love doesn’t stop — it just grows stronger
