A stroke can change everything in an instant, especially for a child trying to understand why a loved one seems different. An Umbrella for Mummy by Laura J. Akers uses the metaphor of a storm to help a little girl make sense of her mother’s stroke, making this complex condition more relatable.
Just as a storm disrupts the world around it, a stroke can suddenly alter a person’s body and emotions. The little girl sees her mother’s changes—her movements, speech, and demeanor—much like watching dark clouds roll in. Yet, the story also carries hope. Storms pass, and though things may not be the same, love and resilience help families find a new normal.
By blending medical reality with the unpredictability of nature, An Umbrella for Mummy provides comfort, understanding, and reassurance to children facing similar experiences.
