My new children’s ebook, How’s Your Head, Mummy?, is now live on Amazon.
This one is deeply personal.
It came from lived experience, from the kind of hard days that are not easy to explain to children, and from wanting to put simple words around something many families go through quietly.
The book follows three boys, Jackson, Hudson, and Harrison, as they try to understand why Mummy sometimes looked tired, cried, or said her head was “not very good today.”
It is a gentle story about parental depression, difficult days, family love, and the importance of children knowing that grown-up sadness is not their fault.
I wrote it as the kind of book a parent could read with a young child when they need help explaining something that feels too big or too hard to say clearly. It may also be useful for grandparents, aunties, uncles, older siblings, carers, or other trusted family members who want to help a child understand what is happening when someone they love is struggling.
Children notice more than adults sometimes realise. They notice tired faces, quiet rooms, tears, and changes in the people they love. This book is not about giving children adult worries to carry. It is about giving them simple, gentle words, and reminding them they are allowed to ask questions, ask for help, and still be children.
The message at the heart of the book is simple:
Children can love.
Children can ask questions.
Children can call safe grown-ups for help.
But children do not have to fix grown-up sadness.
This book is dedicated to my boys, who loved me through the hard days, even when they were too little to understand them.
I have never forgotten.
How’s Your Head, Mummy? is available now on Amazon.
