My Daddy Has a Headache: Talking to your children about traumatic brain injuries - Paperback

by Anthony Knopps (Author), Joely Corban (Illustrator)

Traumatic brain injuries can be scary...but they can also be a way to teach all of us how to be closer to the ones we love.

Meet Tommy. A young boy who can't wait for his father to come home from serving his country overseas. Tommy and his mom are speaking to their dad on a video call when his unit comes under attack.

Later, doctors tell him that his dad was hurt and has a headache. But Tommy wonders why everyone is scared for his dad. Tommy gets headaches too, but no one ever worries about him.

As his father returns home after a lengthy hospital stay, Tommy learns more about the challenges facing someone with a traumatic brain injury and what he and his mom can do to help his dad.
