A lovely approach to an otherwise difficult topic. Well written and easy to follow. The illustrations are lovely.
Such a sensitive topic. So well done!
This story is so important. I was 18 when I was told my mother had cancer and I remember how difficult it was for me to deal with at that age. I can't imagine what it would be like for a young child. This is a beautiful book that will help so many. Best of luck and wishing you continued success with your book.
