When Mommies Get Sick

When mommies get sick, and sometimes they do, how do things change for me and for you?

Whether it’s a 24 hour bug, a months long struggle, or a chronic condition, everyone gets sick… including mothers. “When Mommies Get Sick” helps empower young readers by illustrating what to expect and how to help when their mother experiences illness or injury. This book serves as a fun, yet practical resource for the entire family, bringing them closer together during the storms and trials of life.

This book was written and illustrated by Jayne Ann Osborne during an extremely difficult pregnancy. She suffered with a pregnancy condition called hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). HG is a condition most commonly known for extreme vomiting and nausea during pregnancy. She was bedridden for months, living on IV fluids, and the creation of this book was a saving grace. It gave her and her family something to create together during such a difficult time.

Her hope is that this book will inspire other families when they experience times and/or seasons of maternal illness, because family is all about relationships. No matter what a mother can and cannot do (because, that can change), who she is and her irreplaceable role in the family isforever.

This book makes a great gift for mommies going through morning sickness, cancer, mental health struggles, injury, chronic illness, and more.
