Momma wears combat boots, a camouflage jacket, and a “U.S. Army” tag on her chest.  She fights for her country’s military but she also fights for her family.  When Momma comes home from a long deployment, however, something has changed. Her daughter misses the big hugs, uniform fashion shows, and music mornings they used to share.  And she really misses planting vegetables together.  Now Momma won’t even come out to the garden.  But maybe, just maybe, she can bring the garden to Momma.  Missing Mommais a poignant and ultimately hopeful, comforting story of a child with a parent affected by PSTD. Sensitively written by Winsome Bingham and movingly illustrated by Rahele Jomepour Bell, Missing Momma reminds kids that a family’s love endures even on days that aren’t picture perfect.
