Plum's tummy feels wobbly on nursery mornings - until Mama ties on a small teal ribbon and shows him a promise he can wear on his wrist.
Every morning, Plum holds Mama's hand extra tight walking up the nursery path. His tummy feels a little bit wobbly - until Mama kneels down with a simple, gentle ritual: a wave, a squeeze, and a see-you-soon.
"A wave, a squeeze, a see-you-soon - Mama always comes back soon!"
With his best friend Bea waving hello, a kind teacher named Miss Willow to ask him about his ribbon, and a little teal bracelet to remind him Mama's coming back, Plum discovers that goodbye isn't forever - it's just a little while, filled with painting, snack time, and friends, before Mama's arms are open wide again.
