Mommy is a Wumpus now.

She sleeps a lot. She forgets to play. Sometimes she cries. Sometimes she feels far away.

But she is still Mommy.

My Mommy is a Wumpus is a gentle picture book for children whose parents are moving through a difficult season-illness, grief, depression, overwhelm, or everyday life that has become too much.

With soft watercolor illustrations and a tender, rhyming voice, this story gives children language for noticing change without needing to fix it. It makes room for what children already know: feelings change, hard seasons pass, and even as a Wumpus, Mommy still belongs.
