內容簡介 ���� When Arms Have to Rest A gentle story for little ones when Mommy needs time to heal When Mommy goes through surgery and can't lift, carry, or snuggle like she used to, little hearts can feel confused, sad, or left out. When Arms Have to Rest is a tender, reassuring picture book that helps young children understand what's happening - and reminds them that even when arms have to rest, a mother's love never stops holding them close.

Through cozy scenes and loving alternatives - like air hugs, hand-holding, and heart smiles - children learn that love can still be shared in special ways. ���� Perfect for: Ages 1-5 Moms preparing and recovering from surgery Families navigating temporary physical separation or caregiving changes Preparing a toddler or preschooler before a caregiver's surgery Hospitals, cancer centers, family therapists, or support groups Inside you'll find: A comforting, age-appropriate story Soft, inclusive cartoon-style illustrations Gentle explanations of why Mommy can't lift or snuggle Toddler-friendly ways to show love and stay connected Whether read at bedtime or snuggled up on the couch (side-by-side, of course!), When Arms Have to Rest is a beautiful way to help children feel loved, included, and safe during one of life's hardest moments.
