Customer Reviews: 1 of 2 found this review helpful: Helpful, 2005-08-16 Very well thoughtout book and positive while being frank about a very difficult topic. 6 of 6 found this review helpful: For the young woman facing breast cancer, 2005-08-14 Nancy Reuben Greenfield's book is a one-of-a-kind find. Young women experiencing breast cancer often have the added pain of facing the experience through the eyes of their young children. This book helps mothers and other adults find the words to explain beast cancer and mastectomy simply and sensitively for the very young child. The theme centers around the effect from the child's perspective, namely the difficulty in "hugging my mommy" as she recovers from mastectomy surgery. The book offers mother and child ways to deal with this stressful time. It is probably ideal for the 4 to 8 year-old girl, but would also be suitable for boys and for older and even younger ages. The combination of sensitive words and exquisite illustrations by Ralph Butler brought tears to my eyes.
