Praise for My Mama Has Chronic Pain
"The author has written her personal narrative of chronic pain and beautifully explained it for children to understand. It's broken down into the simplest language explaining the pain she experiences and how it is best managed all while making sure her children feel loved.
Having chronic pain myself, this book was enlightening to read along with my children so they could also better understand how their mama has to cope with this invisible illness.
Thank you Melissa for putting this out there for parents like us who look for a lighter way to translate our journey to our kids." Tracy
