<p><b>A book by kids to help your kids deal with cancer in the family</b></p><p>When Abigail and Adrienne's mom toldthem she had cancer, they were afraid. Whenthe two sisters (then ages 11 and 9) couldn'tfind any books for kids that explained whatmight happen to their mother and what theymight expect, they decided to write onethemselves. The result? <i>Our Mom Has Cancer</i>, a humorous, honest,hopeful account of the year their motherunderwent treatment for breast cancer,delightfully illustrated with drawings byAbigail and Adrienne.</p><p>“This is by far the best of several children's picturebooks written about a parent with cancer.Because it is written and illustrated by two sisters,it conveys what kids want to know. It [shows]the passage of time during treatment, and it[shows] that people were loving and kind andhopeful in the midst of a rotten time . . . .This bookis excellent, and I would recommend it to anyparent who has been diagnosed with cancer.”<br>--a mom from Cedar Rapids, Iowa</p>
