Description
Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings, an award-winning children's book, is a powerful listen-to/read-aloud story for children with a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with cancer. The book's rich, intuitive writing and beautiful, reflective illustrations facilitate a child's understanding of cancer. The storyline and drawings offer hope and encourage communication about this most difficult topic. Additionally, children come to realize the ability they have within themselves to be an active and integral part of their loved one's cancer journey.
Together the author and illustrator (who are also cousins) make this book very real. Ellen McVicker gives voice to children and parents who may not have all the words that need to be said about cancer and its treatments, while Nanci Hersh, having walked through her cancer journey with her two young boys, touchingly conveys experiences of children through her exquisite artwork.
The book is a first-person narrative from a child's experience of being told by his mother that she has cancer. It should be noted that the specific type of cancer is NOT mentioned in this book. The child gives his interpretation of his mother's explanations for the disease, and the treatments she is likely to receive. While preschool and school-aged children would benefit from this book, its use for young adolescents should not be disregarded.
Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings - a gift for any reader grasping to understand what it means when someone they love has cancer.
