Helping Children Understand Illness with Love & Clarity

When a loved one faces an illness, children may notice changes but lack the words to express their emotions. Juni Loves Mom is a gentle, heartfelt tool designed to help families have age-appropriate conversations with young children (ages 2-8) about illness.
 

The Story Behind the Book

Dr. Gadson wrote Juni Loves Mom for her grandson when her daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at 31 years old. Her daughter struggled to explain the changes happening in their family to her 2 ½-year-old son, so Dr. Gadson created a story where he could see himself and his family reflected. This simple yet powerful approach helped him understand the situation in a way that felt safe, familiar, and loving.
