What is To the End of the World, Far, Far Away about?

After spilling his milk, Louis decides to run away to the end of the world, far, far away. But when he asks whether his mother will miss him, she imagines an enormous adventure filled with stormy seas, towering mountains, whispering trees and lonely toys. As Louis travels through her playful tale, he discovers just how much she loves him. Their dramatic game of going away becomes a warm, reassuring journey about big feelings, make-believe and the unbreakable bond between a child and his mother.
