The illustrations powerfully capture the journey of infertility and give another dimension of life to the lyrical words. Faith, perseverance, and seeking medical help are all part of the story. Warrior Mom is the perfect gift to give to a mother who has gone through infertility. Regardless of going through IVF, IUI, a naturopath, etc. any mom who has experienced the battle of infertility will deeply relate to both the words and illustrations of this lovingly crafted picture book. Mothers who are currently going through infertility treatment can find strength and encouragement from this book. It can also be used to educate children and young adults, about the reality of infertility, in a way that promotes safe conversations.
