Professional Reviews
This is a needed resource
This charming and awesomely illustrated tale is a much-needed resource for young children facing cancer. Told and illustrated simply and straightforward by a child, it would help to alleviate fears and reassure any young child. I loved this honest child's story and recommend it highly.
For kids, from a kid's perspective
This book will help any child going through an illness, hospital stay, or treatment. It is in Stacia's words, and it isn't complicated. "Stay strong!" is powerful coming from another child.
I think her words and photos capture her feelings about the ordeal of cancer treatment, and it might inspire other children to write down their feelings too.
What an adventure!
I loved that this book was written by a child for children. Stacia's story of her adventure made it easy for my kids to understand what happens while a person is on a "battling cancer" journey. Her story was wonderfully frank and honest and caused quite an open and thoughtful discussion at our house! Fabulous to share with your kids if you know someone battling cancer! Thank you Stacia!
