Mama’s Waves

Ellie's mom did not come for their visit, and Ellie is sad and angry as she tries to understand why. Fortunately, Miss K. and Ellie's Uncle Finny are there. Using the metaphor of a wave, they help Ellie talk about and understand her mother's ups and downs, recognize and hold on to loving memories, and know she is not alone. Millions of young children live in families with an adult struggling due to trauma (including adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs), mental illness, substance abuse, or other addiction. Mama's Waves was written for any child with a family member riding emotional waves, whether they live together or not.
