What is Mommy Has a Monster on Her Back! about?

Every day, Mommy carries a colourful, changeable monster on her back. Sometimes it is noisy and wild, making ordinary tasks difficult; on other days, it is quieter and easier to manage. With patience, love and helpful hands, Mommy and her family learn ways to live alongside it. This gentle picture book introduces children to chronic illness, showing that difficult days are part of a life that can still be joyful, active and full of beautiful moments together.
