MY THOUGHTS
In When Mom Feels Great, Then We Do Too! Family and friends rally around mom who has a serious illness. With the help of dad and grandma, the kids get involved to distract her from her illness and fill her with warmth and love so that she would get better soon!
Suggestions were being quiet, not fighting with each other to stress mom out, making her a personal card, a funny video and so much more.
I smiled and said, awwww, when they helped dad make her favorite food of asparagus and wieners. There's even a recipe included the back of the book.
Moms and dads are key figures in any household and when one gets ill it throws the family dynamic off. This book is an uplifting story of how this family dealt with it and can serve as encouragement for other families also going through this type of situation.
The pictures are evocative and the soft pastels match the story perfectly!
I rated it 5 out of 5 stars
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Phyllis Schwartz is a married mother of two, who, after a highly successful career in the TV news business, finally has the luxury to indulge in and focus on her “civilian” writing. Even as a kid, she kept a diary and wrote little stories and poems, a creative release that continued well into adulthood. She wrote news by day and poetry by night. And despite battling three different types of cancer over more than three decades, she is still filled with energy, joy, and optimism, and she looks forward to writing more poetry and children’s books.
Her writing centers on the beauty she finds daily: Her friends, husband, and two children, as well as her garden and her beautiful beach town residence in dreamy Encinitas, provide continued inspiration for her verse.
