An Important Book January 23, 2002
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I saw the author on the Today Show, and bought this because I know a family going through this difficulty. The book touches on many issues, but is really very positive. Good for bringing up discussion, especially for children who may be too frightened to share their feelings.
Good book to foster discussion November 28, 2004

This book is written from the perspective of the kids. It's not the first book to get for a child under age 6 to explain cancer, but it's a good one for the elementary school aged child to open up discussion. My daughter is a kindergartener and does like to occasionally read this one together, but prefers the ones for younger kids. (Like Sammy's Mommy Has Cancer and Tickles Tabitha's Cancer-tankerous Mommy.) I do recommend this for the 1st to 5th grade age group though. It does use the perspective of many different kids of different ages.
A WELL WRITTEN WORK. QUITE USEFUL March 10, 2007

The author has used various animal characters to discuss impact of breat cancer that stricks the entire family, not just the victim. This one is written for the younger child and is an excellent tool to open and continue discussion with your children concerning this rather serious subject. The book is written with great sensitivity, yet answers hard to answer questions of a level that most young onces can understand. It is yet another great too. Recommend this one highly.

I think the illustrator should do all childrens books :) Loved the pictures! The different stories were captivating and heart warming. This book could be used for any illness a family member is experiencing. I would love to meet this group of children and just listen to them share. The authors did a good (and I'm sure had a difficult)job at choosing the stories for this edition. Job Well Done!
