Also Becoming Naomi Le?n by Pam Mu?oz Ryan deals with a mother that

leaves her children, among many other topics.

I don't know of any picture books in which mothers have left their

children, but there are novels. Belle Prater's Boy by Ruth White and

Walk

Two Moons by Sharon Creech both deal with this issue.
