"My daughter was five when I was diagnosed. I tried to get my hands on anything and everything to read. I did for myself, but I couldn't find anything for her. It was a peacful book to read because it didn't intensify the subject. It would have been extremely useful to have a book like this."

"It's just hard to come up with your own words when you are in the situation. You can give me all the brochures you want, but when I have to start the conversation and I am already crying, it's too hard to do. This book you can just sit down and read as a story, and it's not as personal as coming out for the first time to your children. Although I think women could use it for that.

It's enough information for a younger child without getting too involved or using medical terms. It's just basic knowledge which is all you ever want to give them."

- Carolyn Huffman, Breast Cancer Survivor

"The book was a good 101 on cancer for children. I don't think they need to know the details of how sick people get. I loved the illustrations because the colors were bright and I liked that there were no sad faces or expressions. From cover to end it was just very positive."

- D.C., Cancer Survivor

"I liked that you couldn't tell if it was a White girl, Hispanic girl, Asian girl, or Black girl. I think it could be used by anyone of any race."

- C.S., Cancer Survivor

"The words and images are straight-forward and strong. The garden is an image that often came to my mind when imagining cancer. It's right on!"

- L.F., Cancer Survivor

"I think the first think it does is something that would help all children... the part about 'Am I going to get it?'

The pictures were soft and beautiful. I liked the ones where she has a scarf on her head. My grandson picked it out right away because he had a friend whose mom had a scarf like that. It was a good picture for me to explain that sometimes that's how women deal with cancer when losing their hair. They buy a scarf or wig and some women choose not to wear anything at all."
