Young children get scared when Mommy is sick. They want to help her and don't know what to do.


Mommy is sick. What do you do? offers little ones ideas about how to help their Mommy when she doesn't feel. This book is written with fun and love by a cancer survivor and sends important messages to small children. When Mommy is sick, do nice things for her to help her feel better. You could read her a story, make her hot chocolate, say I love you, let her sleep, or better yet take a nap with her. Hugs are so healing!

Children know the things Mommy does for them when they are sick. She gives them top of the head kisses, warm snuggles, and nasty tasting medicine that will make them feel better soon. Maybe Mommy will also sing a sweet song and tuck them in for a nice long snooze.

What about Daddy? What is the best thing you can do to help him when he is sick? Well, he may pull the covers up over his head and want everyone to just leave him alone until he feels better.

Or...he might growl at you and scare you away! Oh no!

A sweet picture book for young readers that will help them learn about illness in an approachable (and not scary) way.
