Description

Mummy Likes Her Special Drinks

A gentle story about addiction, fear, and hope for children

Leo loves his mummy. He loves his red truck, his teddy bear Barnaby, and the way home feels when everyone is laughing.

But sometimes, Mummy drinks from a white bottle.

When she does, her voice sounds different. Her eyes look sleepy. She shouts. She forgets things. And Leo feels scared.

He tries to fix it.
He hides the bottle.
He wishes harder.

Until one day, Leo remembers something important:
If you are scared at home, tell a grown-up you trust.

With courage, Leo calls Grandma — and that call changes everything.

Mummy Likes Her Special Drinks is a compassionate, age-appropriate story that helps children understand:

• What addiction looks like through a child’s eyes
• That a parent’s drinking is not the child’s fault
• That children cannot fix grown-ups
• The importance of telling a trusted adult
• That recovery and healing are possible

This story offers hope without pretending the journey is easy. It acknowledges fear, confusion, and anger — while gently showing support systems, treatment, and family recovery.

Perfect for:

• Families navigating addiction
• Counselors and therapists
• Schools and social workers
• Foster and kinship care settings
• Conversations about emotional safety at home

At its heart, this book carries one powerful message:

You are not responsible for fixing a grown-up.
You are allowed to ask for help.
And you deserve to feel safe.
