My Mummy’s Inside Weather

Sunny Days, Stormy Days, and Love That Stays

Written and illustrated by Symon Oliveri

A gentle children’s book that helps children understand a parent or caregiver’s changing emotions through the metaphor of “inside weather.”

This gentle story follows a mother and her daughter as they navigate the mother’s changing inside weather together. Through warmth, metaphor, and connection, the story explores how emotions can shift while reminding children that love, safety, and connection can stay strong through sunny days and stormy days alike.

Created for families impacted by parental mental illness, emotional overwhelm, trauma, or emotional regulation difficulties, the book gently supports conversations about feelings, connection, reassurance, rupture and repair, and seeking support during difficult times.

More broadly, it can also help children understand that all people experience emotional ups and downs, including grown ups.

Designed to be read together, this book can support families, therapists, educators, and professionals working with children impacted by parental mental illness or emotional regulation difficulties.

Perfect for:

• Supporting emotional awareness in children

• Reducing confusion or self blame

• Opening conversations about feelings and mental health
