Why read it?
1 author picked Don't Forget to Come Back! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Mommy and Daddy are going out—without her— and the narrator of this compassionate and sweetly, smartly funny picture book doesn’t like it one bit. She keeps finding three new very important things to tell her patient parents to prevent their leaving—to no avail. The babysitter, not surprisingly, turns out to be very cool. I love the imagination, resourcefulness, and spunk of this child narrator coping with her own feelings of separation.
From Naomi's list on separation and belonging picture books.
