Overview

MomMom Cares tells the story of a young boy who lost his grandmother, and the warm, positive thoughts he has whenever he sees rainbows.

Written by a mother trying to explain the death of her own mother to her child, MomMom Cares is an excellent book for other parents to explain the death of a grandparent, bereavement groups, counselors, and spiritual advisers like a priest, rabbi, or cantor.

Parents often have a difficult time telling their children that a grandparent died. Often, we can still feel the presence of a loved one after they are gone, and many see signs that their loved one is still around them. This book may help a child better deal with the loss of a family member, like a grandma or grandpa, and may help a parent who is struggling to explain "what happens after death" or how to help their child otherwise deal with the death of a grandparent.

MomMom Cares delivers a positive message in the difficult times families may face when a loved one dies. "Whenever I see rainbows, I feel my mom's presence and feel as if she is watching over me," says Kira. "Whether it is rainbows, butterflies, lady bugs, or other positive signs, many people look to unexplained phenomena after losing a loved one, giving us a sense of comfort and reassurance, Since losing my mom, my family now always looks to rainbows to remind us that MomMom Betty Cares" adds Kira.
