520			_aParents are superheroes, especially when they're battling cancer. This empowering book follows a mother and her family through all the stages of her cancer - diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation - and provides an honest and encouraging tool for talking with kids about serious illness. Lovingly upbeat and straightforward, this book is a much-needed and welcome source of comfort for any cancer-fighting family. The mother's hair loss and mastectomy are dealt with sensitively, presented as part of the cancer-fighting superhero status which the children assign to her. The girl and boy in this book support their mother through her breast cancer experience with kisses, hugs, dancing and jokes to fight off cancer. There is a note from a cancer specialist advising adults on how to approach discussing the impact of cancer on family life with children. Water colour style pastel illustrations accompany the short text, showing home and hospital. Colour picturebook with short text. Audience: child 4 - 7
