Jean, an adorable five year-old boy, relates his daily life and little adventures with his sour-tempered teacher Madame Moinot, his busy dad, his nanny Yvette (the Queen of iced chocolate), his little brother Paul (with whom hes always fighting) and his neighbor Michele (whose parents own a kennel). But Jean feels a great emptiness inside and asks Where is my Mommy? With sensitivity and emotion, but never lapsing into melodrama, Bravo and Regnaud tell their story and remind us that children are not the only ones who would rather invent than deal with reality. The sweet sadness of the five-year-olds point of view is best appreciated by adults. Bravos attractive artwork solidly carries the story forward
