Mommy Goes to Meetings Childrens Book by Sober Curator & Author Amy Liz Harrison, Mother of 8
This is a book for children about loving a family member who is struggling with substance abuse. It is part of the “Kiss Your Brain” series, which tackles mental health topics the author’s family—and all families—face. As a mother, a person in recovery, and a writer, Harrison felt inspired to create the “Kiss Your Brain” series of children’s books in 2023. With five stories written from a child’s point of view, this series addresses substance abuse, eating disorders, and other mental health issues in a way that appeals to even the littlest readers.
