Childrens
When his mother leaves with the father of his worst enemy at
school, nine-year-old Jeremy seeks to make sense of her
abandonment. He throws himself into recreating the Book of
Birds, a collection of drawings that his mother took with
her on the day she left. While his father fights his own
depression and his sister distances herself from their
lives, Jeremy turns wholeheartedly to nature, and finds
solace in the quiet comfort of drawing. In this novel, James Prosek tells Jeremy's story without
blame, without self-pity, and without excuses. The Day My
Mother Left should be read by anyone who has gone through
the pain of losing a parent, and by anyone who wants to meet
Jeremy, a boy who can see inside himself the person he wants
to become.
