A mother and her child are separated by distance they never chose. But love doesn't need a roof to be real. Through long days and longer nights, a child holds onto love like a lantern—through fear that whispers, sadness that weighs, and hope that refuses to go quiet. Across mountains and time zones, a mother carries her child in every heartbeat, certain she is the luckiest mom alive, even when the ache of missing feels too big to hold. With Mr. Buttons, a traveling rabbit who carries messages of love, this story follows one child's journey through the hardest days—and the love that endures every single one of them. Because home isn't just a place. Home is what we carry in our hearts.
