A Picture Book for Kids of Healthcare Workers Ages 4–8
Buy on AmazonA story about a very bad Saturday that turned out to be something else entirely.
Josh had one rule about Saturdays. Saturdays were Mom days.
But Mom is a nurse. And this Saturday, someone needs her more.
Someone Needs My Mom Today is for every child who has ever felt second place to a parent's job — and for every parent who has driven away feeling guilty about it.
Funny, surprising, and completely honest, this is a story that doesn't tell kids how to feel. It just shows them they're not alone in feeling it.
Children aged 4–8 with a parent in nursing, medicine, or healthcare
Families navigating shift work and non-traditional schedules
Parents looking for a book that validates big feelings without lecturing
Classroom and library collections focused on community helpers
A story for every family that has ever balanced love and duty.
