Snippet: "He felt like he had a dark cloud over his head all the time."





Summary: A sick or injured child can disrupt the best of families. Parents are frequently so focused on the sick child that well siblings may feel abandoned. In spite of the love they feel for their sibling, a well child may be annoyed with all the attention their sick sibling receives. The well child may feel guilty about their anger or annoyance. Conflicting emotions can overwhelm the healthiest child. This book hopes to demonstrate to the healthy child that their feelings are normal, acceptable and guilt is not necessary. The book also hopes to alleviate any of the well child's feelings of alienation and loneliness by reassuring them of their parents love.





Review: I have read all of William G. Bentrim's books to date and they have never been a disappointment because they truly are great.  I can say that What About Me? is really good. It teaches children that their parents do care for them even if sometimes their attention is drawn away to a sick child in the family.





Once again, the illustrations are really neat, I definitely think they're eye catching and young children will definitely like them.





William G. Bentrim has once again created a great story that young children will enjoy and it teaches them a lesson at the same time.

Snippet: "we have each other and if daddy will get some help, maybe we can work it out."
Summary: Domestic violence exists. That is a simple disturbing fact. It isn’t something that should be ignored or swept under the rug. It is imperative to face this problem, acknowledge its existence and do our best to aid those who are exposed to it. Children, all too often, are susceptible to accepting responsibility for their parent’s bad behavior. They need to understand that they are not responsible for the violence. This book attempts to explain a very complicated issue to young children.
Review: The topic of Mommy's Black Eye is domestic violence and sometimes a parent doesn't really want to read a book about domestic violence to their child but some do because they want them to know whats out there. Luckily, Mommy's Black Eye is highly suitable for young children and simplifies things down so that young children can get a brief and simple understanding that it's not acceptible for one parent to hurt another one.
The illustrations are really good and children and adults will love them.
I really liked reading Mommy's Black Eye because it was easy to read and simple and I think it would be a really good book to teach children about domestic violence in a simple way.
If any parent is looking for a good book to read to their child about this kind of issue Mommy's Black Eye is definitely a good one, check it out if you're interested.
