In the story, the neighborhood Nana is disabled, yet very wise and compassionate. She welcomes any of the children to visit for storytime. Twins Bobby and Bella show up distraught on Nana’s doorstep one afternoon, shocked at their mother’s behavior and feeling like their mother no longer loves them. They feel that they did something wrong. Nana ushers them in for their traditional milk and cookies, but when the twins refuse, she offers a listening ear and a helping hand. Can she help the twins understand their mother’s PTSD? What they leave with are coping skills to release blame, guilt and feeling helpless.
