Emotional illness is a difficult reality in the lives of many, wreaking havoc in the individual’s life and often creating confusion and tension for close family and friends. While adult resources are plentiful and available, much-needed information for children is not easy to come by.

What’s going on with my mother? fills this gap with a story that enables the adults in a child’s life to help him or her navigate the many challenges they face when someone they love is not themselves. With gentle explanations offered by a loving Bubby, the story creatively answers all of a child’s questions and helps dispel false assumptions about mental health.
