Descriere

"Where Did Mommy's Superpowers Go?" is a heartwarming story for all parents struggling to balance a serious health crisis while caring for small children. Told from the child's point of view, the story shows that what adults tell children about a family member's critical illness may not be nearly as important as how adults share this information.
