Inhaltsangabe:

After Jenna's baby brother was born, Mama began doing some very odd things. She remembered to read to Jenna at bedtime, but she forgot to defrost the chicken for dinner. And she took Jenna to Albert's birthday party a week before Albert's birthday. "I don't know whether I'm coming or going," Mama said. But Jenna didn't care. She loved Mama whichever way she went. And between them, even the most topsy-turvy things worked out pretty well. Love and laughter abound in this hilarious and all-too-true glimpse of a supremely functional, if temporarily disorganized, family.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Judith Caseley says, "When I was a little girl, I fell in love with Abraham Lincoln. I was drawn to the kindness and melancholy I saw in his face. My sister Jean and I prayed to a framed portrait of him that hung on our bedroom wall. To this day, when I see Lincoln's likeness on the wall of a school auditorium, my heart lifts with gladness or my eyes fill with tears. I remember the fierce secrets we told him, the joys and sorrows that were for his ears only. It was a private act of communion, and we called him A. L."

Judith Caseley is the author-artist of such favorite picture books as On the Town: A Community Adventure; Bully; Mama, Coming and Going; and Dear Annie. She lives on Long Island, New York, with her two children.
