Summary: Wonderful for kids
Comment: I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and was trying to find an easy way to explain what was going on to my 2 and 5 year old sons. This book was a great help. It explained the entire process in easy to understand language and opened the doors for great discussions from my 5 year old. I would highly recommend it!

Summary: A gentle story for the youngest children.
Comment: This is the book I want for my best friend, a young mother with breast cancer. Kohlenberg wrote the book for her 18-month- old son, and the book is appropriate as a bedtime story for toddler/pre-school ages, or as an early reader for elementary ages. It clearly and hopefully takes Mommy, Daddy, and Sammy through Mommy's cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy including hair loss, surgery, and finally a day when Mommy's doctors declare her free from cancer, for now. As useful as the text, are the glossary explaining at a child's level terms such as cancer, cells, and radiation, and the names and addresses of several cancer foundations for more information. In a lovely personal introduction for the adult, Kohlberg includes tips for sharing the news with a teacher, and simple activities a child can use to show Mommy love and share special moments with her before, during, and after her treatment. Other books and a couple of videos are referenced for further reading. I love the straight-forward and hopeful style of Sammy but it would be appropriate to choose another book if a child needed specific preparation to deal with loss of a loved one, or if cancer treatment was declined.
