This is a sweet story about a mom who just needs some time to rest and the actions her children take to help her.

I would recommend this story for any home library as it is a lovely story to teach young children that even adults can have bad days and need some time to recover.

Thank you #NetGalley and Acorn Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this title.

This was a great childrens book . I really
Appreciated the message and so important that moms also get time to rest !

Now that’s a title I think all moms can get on board with. This one pulls at your heartstrings as an adult, because we all have those days where we struggle. This one begins one day when a Mom comes home and tells her child that she just needs to get in bed. In the way only children can, they get together to make their mom feel better. I don’t think kids should be responsible for their parents’ mental health and wellness, but that’s not really what this is about at all. Instead, this is about letting kids realize that some times even parents have bad days, and that we are all better people, no matter how young or old we are, when we work to remind those we love how loved and special and important they are. This one is precious through and through.

I selected this book because monthly I suffer from migraines. I don't have anything chronic or need surgical care but my kids still worry about me and ask if I'll die. So I thought a book about when a parent especially a mommy is sick but will get better would be a great book to have.

It's a sweet story with messages of care for processing. At small ages they have separation anxiety and the unknown is scary for us all.

But preparing all of mommy's favorites and making sure she is comfortable while she heals is an important message. Giving her the time to heal so she can get back to a regular routine if possible.

Thank you acornpublishing and netgalley for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

This positive portrayal of a family supporting Mom as she recovers from an illness shows how even kids can help out and make Mom feel great. The text does not specify what sort of sickness Mom is fighting, but we know that doctors “took out some bumps.” (The dedication mentions three cancer fights, which inspired the book.) Being quiet around the house while Mom is resting, helping with chores like making beds or weeding the yard, even creating funny videos to cheer her up are all great ideas that anyone can do for a sick family member. One evening the kids and their father make Mom’s favorite dinner - wieners and asparagus. The author has included the recipe at the back of the book for anyone who would like to try it out at home.

This is an uplifting book that shows how family and friends can rally around someone dealing with a serious medical issue. If you know a child who has this type of situation in their life, this is the perfect story to share with them and help them understand how they can help. It shows that their loved one may need more rest than usual, help from doctors, and plenty of affection - but that they will appreciate the care and love the child gives them.

A cute story of kids telling how they were supportive of their parents when their mom was sick and needed rest for healing.
Illustrations are sweet. Book even includes a recipe for dads and kids to make!

I was granted complimentary access to When Mom Feels Great Then We Do Too! by Phyllis Schwartz by XPresso Book Tours via NetGalley. Thanks for the opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

When Mom Feels Great Then We Do Too! is a beautifully illustrated children's book about staying positive and making the most out of life when a parent gets sick. It's implied that the mother in this book is battling cancer, and we see father, kids, and grandma come together to help with the housekeeping, keep the kids entertained, and cheer up the mother during this uncertain time. It's a lighthearted and refreshing story of happiness and hope around a topic that can be scary and upsetting. This book is appropriate for younger kids and would definitely be a helpful addition to the library of any family dealing with parental illness.

This is a fantastic children's book about how to treat others when they are not feeling well. It touches on themes of how to deal with illness, compassion, responsibility, and how to be kind. Phyllis Schwartz has shown through a very child friendly lens how to address others in your life when someone that is significant to you becomes ill. Throughout the story it shows how to be helpful towards others, how to show that you care for the people in your life, and how making others feel better can ultimately make you feel better.

This was a really sweet story of kids supporting their mom when she's very sick. I liked that the illness wasn't too specific, so this can relate to many children. The illustrations were cute and fun.

Please look into the file. Cannot open the file. I would like to read and review the book real soon.

This rhyming picture book tells the story of two kids whose mom has to go to the hospital because she is sick. The children talk about all of the things they do to make her feel better. It is a very positive story that can be used to help young children deal with such a scary event like a parent's hospitalization. I would highly recommend this book to parents of children, especially those who have an ill family member. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book!

What a fabulous story to pass along to any family where a parent is suffering from an illness or injury. What a calm and cheerful way to help children know how they can be helpers (and kids do loooove to help!) while promoting optimism and hope.

I will be getting this book for my classroom and my school social worker to have to loan to all families in need . BRAVO!

Thank you to NetGalley and Xpresso Book Tours for the opportunity to read this ARC.

A helpful book, and no mistake – this will certainly let you know how the author likes her wieners and asparagus! More beneficially, it will convey in very pleasant manner a dollop of positivity for young audiences whose parents get sick. The author has had cancer multiple times, and this talks of the mom having "some bumps" taken out. But rest assured she is quickly back at home, and even if the new ground rules have to include better behaviour and more making of the bed, they also include diverting yourself from the issue, and having sensible fun as a whole family. It's a little too optimistic, if anything, bordering on lack of realism, but it does what it needs to do – show that you can get through it as a family of a sufferer day by day and play by play. Told in verse that has a relaxed attitude to the perfect rhyme and with some really accomplished full-page illustration, this definitely is an issue book first and an entertainment book second, but has enough about it to stop the intended readers from feeling down, which may be all you could ever ask of it. Four and a half stars.
