Mamma Don't You Worry is an ebook available quite inexpensively through Amazon.   It is a rhymed adventure told by a little boy who decides he's too grown up to hold Momma's hand while at the mall.  He learns that independence comes at a price.

Author Louie Lawent enjoys writing stories for children as well as writing song lyrics.  His book, Gerty the Pig, is an AR book. The author's experience as a 4-year-old getting separated from his parents in a department store was probably the kernal from which Mamma grew.
