Lily's mother is sick and her father must go to work, but she does not want to stay with a babysitter, even if it means playing with cute baby Sam, sweet little dog Ringo, and fun big brother Jack.

Lili spends a few days with her grandmother while her mother is away and thinks she sees her mother's yellow hat everywhere she goes.

"A child worries about what it will be like while his papa is away, until papa is home"--

During a dry time, Mama leaves Little One alone while she climbs the highest mountain to ask the skies for rain, but she promises that her love will remain all around.

Dory's separation anxiety from her mother turns into a ghostly, goofy escapade.
