Claudia's best friend is her doll, Maddalena, and they are never apart. Maddalena is very brave, but sometimes she gets scared, especially when Mum and Dad have to be away for a while. So Claudia lets her climb into bed with her for comfort.

One day, however, the whole family goes on a trip together—and they leave Maddalena at home! Claudia isn't afraid, of course; she's only worried for poor Maddalena! What can she do?

This gorgeous picture book by Laura Orsolini reminds us that it's never easy to be away from the ones we love, no matter the age or circumstances.
