Overview

A young girl expresses emotions connected to her loss and uses memories of her mother to work through her grief. Some of the memories are hers, others are stories people tell her about her mother. Some of the stories are sweet, others are funny, but all of them help her recognize that it not only helps to remember mama, but to talk about her feelings with her dad.
