(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mika Song. A young child chronicles her mom's cancer treatment in straightforward, childlike prose: "Mama is a cancer-fighting superhero." Simple explanations of complicated medical issues combine with encouragement to model how a child's love can help a parent during treatment. Watercolor and ink illustrations in gentle pastel shades depict the warm family bond. Notes from a cancer specialist and the cancer-survivor author are appended.
