This heart felt book reads like a beautiful Robert Lewis Stephenson verse for children but with a message so powerful and important that it should be required reading for any parent or child living with illness in their family. Not only can it help people to cope with how to deal with their children in these times of stress, but it also reminds us all of what is truly important in life: the love and support of family. Thank you Risa S. Yaffe for not only living through what you lived through but for having the courage to write this very special book.

If you or anyone you love has lived through the tragedy of cancer -- whether youth or senior -- this book is a must. I suggest that you consider it medicine to get one on the right path.

In a crisis such as this, and we all have crisis, you could not have found a more sensitive, caring book to read to your children or anyone else in this case. This book should be around forever, and read by all.

my mother had cancer a number of years ago, and there is no doubt in my mind that she would have loved to hve used this bookk to break the news to me. Thankyou Risa S. Yaffe for this gift that so many parents will be able to use with their children.

"Once Upon a Hopeful Night" accomplishes the difficult and often painful task of reaveling to your kids that you have cancer in a rather caring and simple way. In my best estimation it will be a tool greatly used once word gets around that it exsits.
