This is the most satisfying moment, when an illustrator sees the book published in different languages. I dream of seeing it in Persian too!

Missing Mama by @armyvet5.bsky.social and illustrated by @rahele.bsky.social is a beautiful picture book about PTSD. Momma comes back from army deployment. Some days she’s sad and can’t bring her “sunlight spotlight smile.” #BlackAuthorsMatter #MentalHealthMatters #BHM #PTSD #BlackMomsMatter
