Jean is a five-year-old boy attending his first day at the “big kid’s school”. He has a secret: his mommy doesn’t live with him, and he doesn’t know why or even where she is. When asked by the teacher to say what his parents do for a living, he lies and says his mommy is a secretary. So begins the story of a pivotal point in Jean’s life. It’s a tale of Jean’s first faltering steps into not just elementary school, but the world of adults. My Mommy is based on writer Jean Regnaud’s own experiences growing up without a mother.
