What's New!

Our Mom Has Cancer is a charming picture book for children from the American Cancer Society. Because it was written and illustrated by two young sisters, it conveys what kids want to know. Funny and touching in telling their story, i t shows people being loving, kind, and hopeful in the midst of a rotten time. Don't miss out on this original artwork and a funny song! See also Because…Someone I Love Has Cancer (a kids' activity book from the Society) to guide children and help them express their feelings when a loved one faces cancer.
