Editorial Review:
How do you explain to a 10-year-old why his mother can't play with him like she used to? What can you say to make a 6-year-old understand why her mother goes to the doctor so often? With over 4 million Americans infected with hepatitis C, a large number are parents who ask themselves these questions everyday. Now the bestselling authors of Living With Hepatitis C: A Survivor's Guide have joined forces with an early childhood specialist to answer these questions in a new book entitled My Mom Has Hepatitis C. An easy to understand story filled with 25 beautiful watercolor drawings, this book is the perfect way for parents and children to share information and feelings. My Mom Has Hepatitis C centers around Mom's discovery that she has the hepatitis C virus, how she tells her son and daughter, their trips to the doctor and Mom's treatments. It ends when Mom finally goes into remission. The book also includes a straightforward and simple glossary of terms along with a list of recommended readings.

Rating: - A Wonderful and Much Needed Resource
Hedy Weinberg, Shira Shump, and Dr. Everson have done a wonderful job with a very difficult subject to address with children.
I think this book is a wonderful and much needed resource for helping adults explain hepatitis C in terms that children can understand.
