When Mommy Is Sick

I absolutely adored this book! This book made me feel many emotions. In this book, a little girl has a very hard time understanding why her mommy is sick all the time. She feels that it is unfair that all her friends have moms that are healthy. Luckily, her father teaches her a lot about what is going on. By the end of the book mother is well again. This is a great book to help children understand what is going on if they have a sick parent. Often times, children will not understand why their parents are sick. They feel helpless. Some even feel like it is their fault. Books like this can help eliminate those feelings and give a child some knowledge on what to do if they are ever faced with this situation. They can also help pass on this information to others they know suffering through the hard time of a parent being ill.
