This was going to be a very sad book to read, and I knew what this was about before it arrived, and still found it hard to open up.Even as a children's book, I didn't want to share it with the youngest little ones, because i myself have a fear of death and didn't want to have one of those conversations that pops up once in awhile about where do we go? Will I see you again? Things like that upset me terribly, even if I firmly believe we will be together again. i just couldn't stomach it.
It was hard to get through this book, especially since it was written through the eyes and heart of a child. I don't like to hear that anybody has to go through such a horrifying event in their life, but I know we all will at some point.
I do believe this is an amazing book for families who are experiencing a loss of a loved one, especially for the children. (Although it will certainly help the grown ups deal with such a devastating loss as well)
You can't help but cry a bit, well, a lot, while reading this and the pictures alone are sad enough. The pictures in this story are simple yet in such a beautiful way, especially the mommy part when she is smiling.
I Remember Mommy's Smile, goes through the whole process of finding out her mother is ill, and the good times they could still have together, to the hospital, to coming home again, to being very sick and going back to the hospital. Reading the words that come from a child really got to me, but this will definitely help with coping and the healing process. There is a part when the little girl couldn't hug her mommy, knowing it was the last time she will see her, that was a nice addition as I believe most children go through this and they should not feel ashamed or feel as though they let anybody down,so this will let them know they are not alone and they are understood!
The whole story was like this, and covered every aspect of death and dying, and the feelings that a child would have during the whole process.
Then the little girl explains her feelings at her mommy's funeral, to getting back to school, being able to smile once again, and how she remembers her mommy's smile. This part was especially sweet, and will be a crucial part for children when they need the extra help to try and get back to normal. (and for parents, this book will be a much needed tool for your family, whether it is used to just help your children see they are not alone, or take the place of some very hard to answer questions while you are grieving also)
I would recommend this book for churches, schools, day cares, all parents and families who have lost a loved one, and of course, any therapists that help families with this process.

Dina has found it important to write this book to reach out to those who are young and must deal with such a great loss. The story touches the heart. You feel the fear and pain the character feels.

It is great for parents, grandparents, teachers and counselors who need a resource to help young children deal with the tough subject of death. This should be on every parents shelf.

REVIEWED BY AprilR, My Book Addiction and More
This book is based on the author's own childhood experience. It was written to help children deal with the loss of family members due to illness. It will help children to understand their feelings and also lets them know it is normal and okay to feel angry, confused or sad. This book will help any family that is going through something like this. It's hard to explain death or illness to a child, but this book I feel would be a great tool in helping them understand. It talks about how the mom is sick and can't play or do things like she used to, and how sometimes she seems okay. It also talks about how scary the hospital was.
VERDICT
I recommend this to anyone who has children, and needs to explain death or serious illness. This should also be a part of every grief counselors book shelf to help children.

I Remember Mommy's Smile is a wonderful book based on the author's own experiences as a child to help children deal with family or loved ones who have cancer and/or other diseases and possibly die from. It lets them understand that it's okay to express your feelings and it's okay to be angry, sad, and mad. It's just all a part of the grieving process that we as adults sometimes find difficult to explain to children. Heck it's hard for us to explain to ourself much less a little one!
The book touches on what it's like to have a sick family member living at home and having to care for them. It goes over times when the loved one is so sick why they can't play and do things with us they once did. And it ultimately ends in the loved ones death and how it's okay to not want to feel better and how it takes time to pick the pieces back up and go on with your own life and that you will always have your loved one in your heart.
I can't even imagine a child having to go thru this but obviously it happens every day someplace in the world. As an adult it is hard to go thru the motions having a sick loved one and knowing things are not going to get any better and then when they die how devasting we feel but just having to imagie a small child having to deal with this just breaks my heart even more.
This was going to be a very sad book to read, and I knew what this was about before it arrived, and still found it hard to open up.
Even as a children's book, I didn't want to share it with the youngest little ones, because i myself have a fear of death and didn't want to have one of those conversations that pops up once in awhile about where do we go?
