N2  - In this fanciful rhyming story which highlights childhood cancer awareness, all of Strawberry's fruit friends encourage her through the trials of "losing her hat" as she undergoes treatment. The bright and humorous illustrations, coupled with some absurd puns, make this book a good choice for anyone who wants to use a lighter approach when explaining cancer and its treatment to a child. For example, hair loss (in Strawberry's case, losing her stalk hat) is addressed by explaining that by taking medicine, Strawberry will grow fuzz like Peach. There are also instructions and a video on how to make a strawberry origami, which will appeal to children who like crafting activities. Colour picturebook with short rhyming text. Audience: Child 8 – 10 years, or younger with an accompanying adult
