Unwrapping the story

Nana explains to adorable little Abby on their way to visit her mom in the hospital, that her mom has a boo boo inside of her and that is why she is staying there.  The mother/daughter reunion is very sweet indeed.  While there Abby experiences a bit of the hospital life that her mom is subjected to.  

They play together on mom's bed making it a shape-shifter.  She accompanies her mom to the x-ray room and gives her stuffed teddy a fun ride in mom's wheelchair. The best time is when they snuggle in bed together and her favourite storybooks are read to her.  Their hearts mesh and the feeling of home reigns once again. 

This is a perfect book to read to a child who might have a parent who is ill and separated from them because of a hospital stay.  Children can feel anxious, scared and confused at this time so a lovely visit to the hospital can benefit them greatly.  They can see first-hand where their loved one is and the surroundings they are inhabiting.  

The story is simple, heartwarming and reassuring for a child.  This book would be a perfect addition to a classroom, elementary school library or a doctor's office.  It also can be pointed out when read  that love is the best healer of all.  I highly recommend this book.
