A story full of emotions: this is how children can cope with a separation phase
No matter if one parent lives far away, the siblings are at school all day, or a parent has to travel for work: when loved ones are not with them, small children often feel a deep sense of longing. This lovingly illustrated picture book provides comfort in the absence of a caregiver. It addresses the theme of separation in an age-appropriate manner and shows how families can deal with the longing for a family member.
Michael L. Printz Award winner Nina LaCour tells the touching story of a child who misses one parent in family life in "Mama and Mami and Me: The Big Longing." For this little girl, there is no better place in the world than between Mami and Mama. But then Mami has to travel for a whole week. The seat at the family table remains empty, and the big longing begins.No matter how much Mom tries to distract her, the pain of separation will soon be as deep as the ocean and as high as the stars in the sky for the girl. But then mother and daughter have an idea of how they can lovingly prepare for their reunion.

About the publisher
We got to know and love each other in 2012 when Anna was on a language trip in Berlin. Initially, Anna lived in Warsaw, where she studied linguistics, and Lukas was in Berlin, where he started his first company. After a few years of long-distance relationship, connected by the Berlin-Warsaw express train, Anna moved to Berlin, and in 2016 we got married on a beach in the Seychelles. What has connected us from the beginning: We love books and are proud of our large bookshelf.
In 2018, our happiness was complete: Our twins Zoë and Vincent were born.Now we buy children's books in the three languages our children are growing up with: German, English, and Polish. In doing so, we realized that many beautiful children's books are available in one language but not in the other. Therefore, we, a translator and an entrepreneur, decided to simply publish these books ourselves!
And so we founded the Zuckersüß Verlag. Since 2019, we have been searching for, finding, and translating the most beautiful children's books in the world and bringing them to Germany. For ourselves, our children, and all young families who enjoy reading together.
