Missing Ummi
Nelson Cengage Learning Australia, © 2021
This 16-page literacy series book — for young readers — is written in the form of a narrative text type. Maya is worried and anxious about her mother’s upcoming business trip to Germany. She’s never been away from her mum for a whole week before. When her mum’s friend Willow comes to take care of her, Maya misses her mum a lot. But Willow shows her ways to connect with her mum and to have some fun with her, too. Maybe a week isn’t so long after all!
