Our Mom Has Cancer

By Abigail and Adrienne Ackerman (2001)







This book was very good.  Two young girls wrote this book to help other kids who are going through the same things that they went through when their mother was battling breast cancer.  The book was very touching as the sister shared their feelings and what their family went through during this time.  Things changed and somethings were a little scary.

This book may be a little controversial, but it would be very helpful to kids of all ages.  Cancer is something that everyone has or will be affected by at some point in their life.  This book was great at giving details and helpful information for kids whose parent, grandparents, or even siblings may go through.  The illustrations were also great and very innocent since the girls drew them.  They told of ups and downs that their mother went through which I think is great.  This book was a great idea and was a good way to give kids another kids perspective on somethings as scary as cancer.
