(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jana Christy. In this heartstring-tugger, a mother who has cancer describes to her daughter everything that will be of comfort during treatment. The direct-address text, while reassuring, resorts to clichés ("...we will look back on this time and remember that love and kindness really are the best medicine"). Pleasant pastel-hued illustrations reflect the narrator's focus on the positive.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
