Twirl with Me, Mama! - Paperback

by Melissa Beardall (Author), Rebecca Nichols (Author), Emma Valenghi (Illustrator)

Ivy is a sweet and spunky girl, whose mother has a chronic illness. She feels her life is unfair compared to her best friend, Lily's. At Lily's house, they can sing and dance and watch movies while eating popcorn. At Ivy's house, they need to play quietly, so they don't disturb Mama.

Ivy, like many children in these situations, feels angry and confused. She even wonders if it's her fault and needs reassurance that it's not her fault, or Mama's.

"Twirl With Me, Mama!" explores Ivy's journey to discovering that doing things differently is what makes her family unique and special.

Ideal for families, caregivers, and educators, "Twirl With Me, Mama!" is more than a story; it's a celebration of resilience, understanding, and the special bonds that make every family extraordinary. This book serves as a comforting resource and a gentle way to foster empathy, love, and adaptability in life's unpredictable moments.
