Author Brandi D. Ledbetter’s New Book, "Where Did Mommy Go?" is a Heartfelt Story of a Young Boy Who is Nervous About Missing His Mother on His First Day of School

Shelby, NC, August 28, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Brandi D. Ledbetter, who resides in North Carolina with her partner-in-life, Russ, her toddler son, Oakie, and her two dogs, Scrappy and Little Scoot, has completed her new book, “Where Did Mommy Go?”: a stirring tale that follows a young boy who finds the courage to face a new experience as he heads off on his first day of school.

“Has the thought of the first day of school ever made you feel uneasy? Does your mind race and wonder who will be there, how will they act, or if you’ll enjoy yourself?” writes Ledbetter. “Sure, each new experience we endeavor for the first time can bring uncertainty. It’s in knowing that our family, friends, and caregivers will always be there for us that brings us much-needed reassurance.

“This story is based on a young boy named Oakland and his first day of school. He is a rambunctious little boy who is constantly on the go, loves to play with trucks, and has spent the first few years of his life at home with his mommy. School is a foreign idea to him riddled with curiosity, fear, adventure, and skepticism. While he wonders where his mommy has gone and when she will be back, he learns that his teachers and new friends help open him up to a whole new world where he can thrive. He learns that school offers him the chance to learn and play, and it is a place where he can be comfortable. He comes into his own and realizes that no matter what new experience comes his way, those who love him will always come back.”
