Announcing My Mama Has Chronic Pain: A simple explanation of chronic pain from a child’s point of view
This is the second book in this series that I am creating to help us to nurture a generation of advocates. To create awareness and understanding in our own homes, that will filter out into the world.
This story is told from the point of view of Wyatt, in real life he is a seven year old and one of my four children.
It’s a non-fiction book made for children to help them understand what chronic pain is.
“A wonderful, brightly colored, upbeat and accessible book about a sweet young boy who works to understand and support his mother. Its practical, straightforward text explains the difficulties of living with chronic pain in a way that children with affected parents can understand—something that much of us affected by illness with children may not be able to do on our own but is so crucial to their emotional health. Providing to children this insight into an issue that affects the life of a family at its core can helps to combat fear and confusion.” Sarah P

What is the ideal age for this book?
I’d suggest from ages 3-12. The most interactive conversations are likely to be with children from 6+. My 7 and 10 year old’s have really enjoyed the book. My 5 year old has enjoyed reading it and seeing mama’s name on the cover.
Who’s the author?
Melissa Reynolds. I’m a mama of four small children and I’ve lived with chronic symptoms (including chronic pain) since I was 14 years old. It began with growing pains that were more troublesome for me than most children. I’m the founder of www.melissavsfibromyalgia.com, the author of several books including Pregnancy and Fibromyalgia, Melissa vs Fibromyalgia and Fibromyalgia Won’t Win. My mission is to share everything I learn so that others don’t have to spend as long as I did with no support or answers.
