Mommy, I Love You—Why Can’t I Stay With You? is a children’s book that helps young readers understand the emotional impact of separation from a parent struggling with substance use disorder.
Through gentle, developmentally appropriate storytelling, the book reassures children that a parent’s inability to care for them is not a reflection of their worth, nor does it mean that they are not deeply loved.
Grounded in trauma-informed principles, this story supports emotional validation, reduces self-blame, and helps children begin to make sense of complex feelings such as love, confusion, and loss

Help Me Sprout, Inc. is proud to announce the formation of its Advisory Board—a dedicated group of professionals committed to advancing our mission of supporting children and families impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
The primary purpose of the Advisory Board is to guide the development of our signature educational initiative: A Broken Twig Can Sprout: Recognizing Emotional Distress in Children — A Guidebook for Parents and Educators.
Through their diverse expertise in healthcare, education, and child development, Advisory Board members will play an essential role in shaping both the book and its accompanying curriculum. Their contributions will help ensure that all content is grounded in evidence-based practices, trauma-informed principles, and real-world applicability.
By integrating professional insight with lived compassion, this collaborative effort aims to equip caregivers, educators, and communities with the tools needed to recognize emotional distress early and respond in ways that foster resilience, safety, and healing.
We are deeply grateful for their leadership and commitment to helping children not only endure—but grow, heal, and sprout.
Even broken twigs can sprout again.
The Advisory Board is composed of the following members:
- Andrna’ Christopher, PMHNP-BC
Aroostook, ME - Bernadette Sutton, M.Ed
Los Angeles, CA - Chrishan Henderson, BSN, RN, IBCLC
