Where Did Mommy Go? is a story for children created by a dad, Roger Clarke, and his sons, Zachary and Aidan. They had many questions after their loving mother, Kristen Clarke, who never relented in her battle, succumbed to her illness with Ovarian Cancer at the young age of thirty-five. She left behind her cherished boys, ages seven and five, as well as her loving husband. The boys, always curious with their immediate surroundings, heard from many people their mother could take many shapes in nature. They became intrigued with the idea she watched over them, visited them, and lived all around them. Both children loved how they experienced her presence in the beauty of their surroundings. Kristen made sure Zachary and Aidan understood and felt the wonders of nature as the family enjoyed the outdoors together. These are the questions the boys asked and the answers their father gave in response.
