Carrying and giving birth to a child is no easy feat. It takes a toll on a person's body, mentally and physically. The effects don't vanish when we welcome our baby into the world. According to the American Pregnancy Association, "Approximately 70-80% of all new mothers experience some negative feelings or mood swings after the birth of their child." These mood swings are better known as "baby blues." While it can be difficult for moms to handle topsy-turvy feelings, those around them, especially small children, might struggle with what is wrong with mommy and how they can make her all better. Mommy Feels BIG THING was written to help kids understand what their parents are feeling is normal and does not correlate with anything they have done. The insightful and beautiful story gives ideas for making mommy feel better. Spoiler alert: it's not doing chores; however, a parent would never say no to a kid who wants to tidy up their room.
Parents love giving and receiving hugs. They are the most precious gift in the world. When a mom brings a new baby brother or sister home, they might need extra hugs and kisses. The loving gesture will help replace frowns with smiles and tears with laughter. It will lift spirits and fill a heart with love.
The book would make a great baby shower gift. With its diverse character representation, it would be perfect for any size family who is about or has just welcomed a new addition to the household. I recommend sharing with children 1-9 years. It will help them understand that mommy's feelings might fluctuate, but they should not take it personally. If they want to help mom, they need to give her lots of hugs and tell her how much they love her. And, if mom needs or asks for some quiet time, respect her wishes.
