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.

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!

This book was purchased to give to someone special who's mother has breast cancer. This was recommended by someone who thought it was a wonderful book for children.
