Description
A strong-willed toddler alternates between terror and fury when her parents leave her in the care of her grandmother for the day. To Caroline, "Grandmother" is "Not-Mamma," and she SCREAMS at the kindly woman's every attempt to make her happy. But as the day goes on, Caroline's worst fears fail to materialize and she begins to see her grandmother in a new light.
An expressive cat follows Caroline's antics as the child throws fits, throws food, slumps angrily in her stroller, until her mood begins to lighten when her grandmother takes her to the park. The whimsical art illuminates Caroline's fantastical view of the world, sparking the curiosity of little readers and encouraging them to engage with the book.

An award-winning children's book author, Barbara Leary writes about the weird and wonderful ways children experience the world. She works and writes from her 100-year-old farmhouse in Virginia with views of the hills, four massive oak trees, and a small flock of doggish chickens.
Barbara uses the magic of "once upon a time" to entertain her granddaughters, who inspired her first three children's books: Virginia Loves Dogs, Caroline and the Not-Mamma, and The Climbing Tree, which won first place in the Writer's Digest 2020 Self-Published Book Awards in the category of Early Readers / Children's Picture Books. She also writes creative nonfiction and the occasional short story. In 2018, she edited and published Backstage at The Lost Colony, a tribute to America's longest-running symphonic outdoor drama, written by Dwayne Walls, Jr. For more information: https://coquinakids.com.
