      September 06, 2009: I bought this book to explain to my five-year old daughter about my recent diagnosis of breast cancer. Although the rhythm of the book is a little off, the story hits the high points of what the surgery and meds will do and ends very sweetly. We have reread it numerous times and I believe it really helped her understand what was going on. I would definitely recommend it to others with young daughters going through this.
