A beautiful picture book about a girl who is worried about her mother leaving her, from the inimitable Sally Gardner.
A little girl is worried about her mother going out. Maybe giants will eat her, she could be kidnapped by pirates, or maybe even run away and join the circus. But mummy is going out and soon the little girl's worries are replaced by pleasure as she plays with Daisy the babysitter.
A familiar story that gently mirrors the feelings of worry that any young child can feel when their parents are going out - but also a story that gently illustrates that we can all have fun when trying something new.
