Join Rose the owl as she learns about kindness, friendship and self love in this beautiful children's book about the disability experience. Everyone has something, sometimes you can see it & sometimes you can't.

Rose the wee owl is planning her birthday celebration. Instead of feeling excited though, Rose is worried that her friends will not want to come, because she is different. As Rose and her mother deliver the invitations, Rose discovers that the other animals have something that makes them different, too. How will Rose's party turn out? Will her friends come to the party? Find out in this unique and heartwarming story of compassion and kindness.

Targeted for children ages 3-11, this is the first of a series of books featuring woodland characters with differences that are each inspired by real children with disabilities - this series kids are sure to cherish as they grow, and learn from through empowering, motivating and fun-to-read stories.

Various physical disabilities are individually highlighted in this book including facial paralysis/weakness, inability to abduct the eyes (Duane syndrome), club feet, cleft palate, mild, moderate & severe hypotonia, limb differences, strabismus, Autism, Pierre Robin sequence, Poland syndrome, developmental delay, speech, hearing, vision, feeding and respiratory difficulty. These individual differences can all be found in Moebius syndrome. Kids ages: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

Review

"This heartfelt celebration of disability is a much-needed reminder for kids and adults alike that disability isn't something to be ashamed of but rather a natural part of our life experiences."

Emily Ladau
Author of Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally

The story beautifully captures Rose's innocence and vulnerability as she expresses her anxiety about being different. With her mother's gentle guidance, Rose realizes everyone has their differences, visible and invisible. The story highlights the importance of understanding and kindness as Rose's friends embrace and celebrate themselves.

Why Me, Mama? promotes acceptance and emphasizes the importance of creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and inclusive. This is a fun children's book and an essential tool for teaching understanding and encouraging discussion about diversity, acceptance, and friendship.

I felt a piece of my inner child being healed by seeing representation of my syndrome in the book. It's important for children to learn as early as possible that they exist in a world FULL of people with differences, disabilities, and syndromes; sometimes you can see them, and sometimes you can't.

Amanda Dodge, Adult with Duane Syndrome

Fun, informative, and thoroughly 'kid friendly' in presentation, "Why Me Mama?" is a welcome and unreservedly recommended addition to family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 6-10.
