About The Book

"This book is equal parts hysterical and heartwarming. It's the perfect gift for any mom!”—Cat & Nat, Best-Selling Authors & Hosts of Mom Truths

Where’d I Go? is a new lift-the-flap book for moms by TV producer, mother, and author Raquel Kelley. This colorful book offers a humorous and relatable take on the ride that is motherhood. Kelley's rhyming text and easy illustrations paint a lighthearted and approachable picture of the identity crisis both new and existing mothers experience, making it the perfect gift for first-time, second-time, and even seventh-time moms alike.

The clever interactive format, typically reserved for toddler board books, aims to make the serious topics of maternal mental health and postpartum depression easier to discuss. Where'd I Go? engages mothers in a comical way, encouraging them to recognize their strengths and embrace the beautiful mess that is motherhood!

A percentage of sales from every book will be donated to Mental Health America.
