My Review...

This is a subject that needs to be talked about but not just at an adult level. Children need to understand in some way about post-natal depression. This children’s book does that in a story-like manner. Something easy for a child to identify with and for parents and children to discuss.

While the subject is handled well, there does need to be some editing done. The lack of punctuation makes for very long sentences and occasionally some confusion. Even more so, the pages of illustrations with tiny print on it are unreadable.

Having said all that, I will still reiterate that this a very important subject and a story well told. It just needs some cleaning up.

read an excerpt...

As the end of Summer arrived, Aydan turned four and his Mummy and Daddy gave him the biggest birthday party. It had all the cake, balloons, games and friends that you could possibly imagine and hope for!

His Mummy was super tired these days as she had another beautiful tiny baby growing inside of her tummy but she wanted to give him the most special day.

In a few short weeks, this little family of four would now become five and they were all SO excited!

The little baby boy had his beautiful nursery all set up and ready for his arrival into the world. His Mummy had neatly arranged all of the baby’s clothes, blankets, ornaments and had made the most peaceful space for Aydan’s little brother.

She would sit in there and fill the space with so much loving kindness, that it penetrated the entire home. Her heart was that big and overflowing.

His Mummy promised Aydan that he would love and adore his new baby brother. She explained that her heart was so big and full of love for Aydan that it was overflowing. Soon this little baby would get to feel her love pour onto him and that her love was limitless.
