Publisher Description:

Mom takes care of Ella every day. She helps her brush her teeth and get dressed, and takes her outside to play. But when Mom is overcome with illness, Ella is left feeling sad, angry, and helpless. She doesn't know how to deal with those emotions, but Dad helps her to call on the good memories of Mom to find happiness again. Children coping with loss and the grown-ups who love them will find comfort in this engaging and empathetic story. It's a great resource for parents and caregivers, teachers, therapists and social workers helping young people to understand grief over the death of a loved one. Page after page of beautiful watercolor pictures make the story feel real and relatable.
