A little girl’s life may never be the same again after she sees her mother being taken by an ambulance to the emergency department of a hospital after she becomes ill during a celebration dinner.

She worries and wonders every day if her mother is ever coming home. Daddy and Grandma try to help, but life at home just isn’t the same without Mommy. Share this little girl’s emotional journey as she learns about what a hospital looks like from the inside and what doctors and nurses do to help sick people. Learn how an illness can bring a family together, and see how a child’s fear and anger turn into acceptance as she sees her mother struggle to regain her health. “Life isn’t fair” is one of the many lessons taught in this book, as well as the realization that a person stays the same inside regardless of an illness. As the child comes to terms with everything that has happened, you can feel her emotions at the end when she expresses her unconditional love for her mother.
