When mom feels great, then we do too!
Mom comes home and doesn’t feel well and has to go right to bed.
Dad keeps the kids quiet and helps them make Mom’s favorite dish, Wieners and Asparagus. The book is a recipe that uses equal parts of rhyming humor and optimism so the whole family can work together to bring positive and healing results to their sick mom.
With examples of upbeat activities beautifully illustrated, WHEN MOM FEELS GREAT provides enjoyable and helpful moments to chase away the mystery and fear of illness: making funny videos, throwing a dance party with Motown tunes, or playing pirate in rocking chairs on the front porch.
Because, ultimately, if it “helps Mom feel great, then we do, too!”

Cognizant of how cancer is a family challenge, in “When Mom Feels Great” she offers comfort for younger family members, reminding them that when they just keep being kids, they can help her get better, so she can keep telling them “love you” and “don’t forget your sweater.”
