Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings: When someone you love has cancer ... a hopeful, helpful book for kids

This book is amazing. The author, with compassion and love, explains in child friendly language what is cancer, what treatment options are available for cancer, how families may be feeling when a loved one has cancer and gives suggestions for what children can do to help a loved one who has cancer. The Illustrations are beautiful as well as helpful. After reading this book to my granddaughter to help her understand her aunts cancer, I purchase two more copies to give to the oncologist. I am hopeful that he will give them out to young parents who may be going through this journey and need help explaining it two children.

This book was the perfect way to help me tell my kids that I have cancer. They are 4, 3, 2 & 9 months; obviously the younger two were oblivious, but my preschoolers were able to understand the story and relate it to my diagnosis when I told them after reading the story.The language is such that even small children can understand and it covers all the questions and emotions that kids may have. The book explains cancer, radiation and chemo in such a simple way, which was a huge blessing. I stressed for weeks about how to tell them and I am so eternally grateful that I found this book.If you’ve recently received the life-altering diagnosis and have kids of any age, do not hesitate to get this book; you’ll be so glad you did. Stay strong, be brave. All warriors have scars.

Such a touching book and it helped my 8 year old understand cancer in a non-scary way. The only complaint that I have is that the cover of the book was all dirty right out of the box by the book wasn’t sealed in plastic so I think it was used.

I purchased this book to help explain cancer to my five-year-old son. It gave us a good starting point for talking about my husband's diagnosis and helped my son think of questions that he wanted to ask. He has asked that we read the book several times and enjoys it more than a second cancer book that I bought. It's hard to know the best way to approach talking about such a difficult topic with children, and this book was very helpful in starting that dialogue.

Love this book! It explains what is cancer in a kid friendly way.

Our daughter was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I purchased this book as a gift to her and her 7 yr old son. Our daughter and grandson read the book together and it helped him to express his concerns. I highly recommend this book for any family with young children who have someone in their lives facing cancer and cancer treatments.

Perfect book to describe cancer to my toddler, not too much information just perfect for such s difficult topic

This book might be useful for young school age children. My need was for an adult with special needs. It was just not right for that purpose. I returned it.

The book is amazing. The hardcover of the book came damaged thus minus the star. Highly recommend.

it's great to help younger children try to understand what we are going through as a family and would recommend it to anyone going through the same thing.
