Description
A vibrantly and poignantly illustrated book that focuses on explaining the loss of hair due to chemotherapy. Explains hats, scarves, wigs, going bald in public, and the idea that what is inside of us is far more important than how we look on the outside. Appropriate for ages 3 to 12. One of two books LIVESTRONG.ORG recently recommended to help explain cancer to children. Used in 100+ cancer centers."Sue Glader's words put it all in the proper perspective. A wonderful tool for families."- Kelly Corrigan, NYTimes bestselling author of The Middle Place and Lift.."Nowhere Hair is cheeky in its approach to why mommy's hair is falling out from cancer medicine. This book is a wonderful tool to explain that hair may fall, but a mother's love never fails." - KIWI Magazine"This is hands down the BEST book currently available when it comes to talking to kids about cancer. I work with women of all ages with cancer and one of their big struggles is how to talk to their children or grandchildren about what they are going through. Most books out there that I have seen are either too technical, too scary, or too religious. Sue Glader has found the perfect tone - written in the voice of a child, she is not afraid to talk about sensitive topics (mood swings, health, hair loss, fear). She succeeds in doing it in a way that inspires hope, encourages tolerance, and leaves readers with a solid sense that she really understands what they are going through.I can't say enough about the book - I give it to all my patients who need it and every single one of them has told me how it has helped their family. Cancer is scary enough - this is one way to make it just a little less frightening to children and parents alike."- Sharon Leslie - from Amzon
