My Mommy Has What?


Book Description

When we started this book, it was one huge pile of words. They had no beginning or end. Throughout the process, we asked her to breathe and think about where she wanted to break them apart. We hoped by taking her own words and placing them on paper that it would help in her journey of healing. One day she asked if we could find someone to draw the pictures, with hopes that she can help another child who is going through a similar experience. It is very important to Betorah that other children know they are not alone, by following through with her dreams of helping other children through her own experiences.
