Sam is a seven-year-old boy who lives with his grandparents. He doesn't remember his dad, but his mom is scheduled to pick him up for their weekend together. She lives with her new baby and her boyfriend and says that one day, if Sam is good, he will come live with her. When Mom repeatedly does not show up for Sam, he begins to doubt if he is loved. Luckily, his grandparents explain he is indeed very loved by the two of them, his absent parents, and even his dog, Cloud. However, parents aren't perfect, so they make mistakes, too. With the help of his grandma, Sam learns a special exercise to remind himself that he is loved, and he learns to truly believe it. Mommy Forgets presents issues that are both traumatic and life changing. Abandonment is a major issue in our society and a contributing factor to the increase of anger and violence around the world. This book helps children see the importance of stopping self-limiting beliefs that get in the way of recovery and offers hope and healing.
