“I loved this book . . . It’s a great way to view the medical team in a positive light. . . . It breaks down the normal, scary unknowns on an approachable level. Unfortunately discussing diseases with kids is not normally the priority in the medical setting, but I think it should be. . . . I remember when my mom had cancer, I was scared to death. This book could have helped give me the tools not be afraid and to ask questions to help me understand the impact of this disease.” — Norman Andrew LaCombe, M.D. candidate, George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences

Amazon reviews:
Great children’s book. . . a great addition to my classroom.
A very honest book about the changes a person faces while going through cancer and treatment. It addresses many questions that students may have and helps put their minds at ease about this condition. The illustrations are fantastic as well!
Simple in writing but with so much depth.
“It helps people to understand cancer in simple terms. Though written for children this book is perfect for people of all ages going through cancer or knowing someone who has.”
An inspiration to both children and adults facing cancer.
As a former co-worker of Ms. Abrams I witnessed first-hand some of the issues she dealt with in her struggle with the disease. Her talent in creating artwork that expresses emotion is and always has been one of her many varied talents. I hope to share this book with my sister who may be dealing with radiation therapy in the near future.
Honest and heartfelt.
This story of a child’s journey brings awareness and hope to children, families and friends of people dealing with cancer. Captivating and colorful pictures help bring to life feelings and worries children may have throughout their treatment. The book can also help siblings and friends of cancer patients understand what is going on with their loved ones. The book provides hope for all those affected by cancer. A wonderful way to help children understand cancer and provide a gateway to ask questions. A one of a kind book!
