When Louis threatens to run away, Mom goes to playful lengths to express how much she'd miss him in this lyrical, beautiful, and reassuring story of parental love.

The splashing waves will call to me,
Louis's mother, why do you cry?

Louis has just spilled his milk, and Mom is a little frustrated, so her little bear decides it's time to head to the end of the world, far, far away. But just as Louis is prepared to depart, he can't help but ask Mom, "Will you be sad when I'm gone?" So Mom relays her tale--of a mama bear whose tears create a great sea, who searches for her boy under waves and on mountaintops and beseeches the wind and the swaying trees to help her find him. Will the sadness end there, or will even the child's toys begin to cry, with no one to tuck them in or hold them tight? Illustrating the depth and breadth of a mother's love, Ronda Armitage's heart-tugging tale is filled with Victoria Turnbull's rich, whimsical scenes full of wonder that will take children to the very ends of their imaginations.
