My Poppi grows tomatoes and sunflowers taller than me. Before Poppi was a Veteran, Poppi was a soldier - and they came home quiet.
In this warm, honest picture book, a child explains PTSD in the words a child would actually use.
Along the way there's Kushy, the working service dog; Tuesdays at the Wellness Centre with free blueberry muffins; hockey games cheered from the top row; and the green medicine that keeps to the high shelf, where the family rule is simple - you never touch anything without asking first.
For children ages 4-12 growing up alongside a Veteran or first responder, with a closing note for the grown-ups who read it with them.
Autumn Farmer is a Canadian Veteran's wife, mother of two boys, entrepreneur and advocate. She has spent years helping Veteran families navigate a life that can be difficult for others to fully understand, building a business dedicated to supporting Veterans and their families and reaching tens of thousands of households with information about PTSD, chronic pain, cannabis, and life after military service.
>
My Poppi's Green Medicine was written for the people she believes are most often overlooked in those families: the children. Raising two boys in a Veteran household, she knows that children see, hear and feel far more than adults realize, and that PTSD brings big emotions and questions a child can't always put into words.
>
She wrote this book so those children can recognize themselves on the page and know one thing for certain - they are not alone. Kushy is real, too.
