Description
When her mom has to work far away, a young girl holds on to the memory of her mother's unwavering love and dreams of their reunion. This heartwarming story delves into the challenges of having a working parent and the courage it takes to be apart from your loved ones. Features a unique jacket and case design! "We are like snails: brave adventurers. They carry their homes on their backs and in their hearts. And they leave traces of themselves wherever they go." A young girl and her mom move often from city to city, always starting over together like adventurous snails. But one day, when her mom gets a job in another city, they are separated for a long time. While being raised by her loving grandparents, the girl can't help but miss her mom and yearn for the day they will reunite. But through drawing and remembering her mother's encouraging words, the girl learns to be brave on her own until they are together again. With two distinct illustrated covers, one on the jacket and the other on the case, vibrant art, and poignant text, When We Were Snails depicts the love between a child and mother, and the everlasting bond that exists between them, no matter the distance or time apart.
