Spark Ling

My Mom and Lupus

My mom is the best in the whole world. And my mom has lupus. In this warm, rhyming picture book, a child explains in their own loving voice what lupus is, how Mom's own defenses turn against her healthy body by mistake, what her daily care looks like, and the parts that are honestly hard, like a flare that leaves her achy and tired. This gentle story also holds the truths a worried little heart needs most: I can't catch it, it's not my fault, and it doesn't change one bit how much Mom loves me.
